ABSTRACT
Selective transport of anions across membranes has become an important goal in chemistry and biology. Here, we found an anomalous anion transfer order within the graphene oxide membrane Cl- > Br- > F- > I-. This is at odds with the conventional ranking of the transfer order, which usually decreases as the radii of the anions increase, i.e., F- > Cl- > Br- > I-. The abnormal transportation of F- can be ascribed to the strong anion-π interactions between F- and graphene oxide sheets. Such unexpectedly strong anion-π interaction resulted in the lower movement of F- in the graphene oxide membrane and caused the anomalous anion transfer order. Our findings not only provide experimental evidence of anion-π interactions, but also improve our understanding of anion-π interactions in the selective transport of anions across a two-dimensional membrane.
