A new bis-pyridinium calix[4]pyrrole derivative is reported. This system forms a non-fluorescent complex upon exposure to the chromenolate anion. The resulting supramolecular ensemble binds pyrophosphate anion with high affinity (Ka = (2.55 ± 0.12) × 107 M−1) in acetonitrile. It exhibits sensitive "turn-on" fluorescence when exposed tetrabutylammonium pyrophosphate, and does so preference other anions, including fluoride phosphate anions.
