A simple, readily-prepared precipitant (1.Cl2) precipitates oxalate or terephthalate from water with very high efficacy, removing these anions at sub-millimolar concentrations using only one equivalent of precipitant. simple aqueous base/acid cycle can be used to regenerate 1.Cl2 after use. The resulting precipitates, 1.oxalate and 1.terephthalate, are anhydrous closely-packed, each anion receiving eight charge-assisted hydrogen bonds amidinium N–H donors. Precipitation occurs much lower than other dicarboxylates, direct competition experiments the biologically/environmentally relevant divalent CO32–, HPO42– SO42– reveal selectivity for over competitors.
