The macrocycle valinomycin displays an outstanding ability in cation binding and carriage across hydrophobic environments (e.g., cell membranes) and constitutes a central landmark for the design of novel ionophores for the regulation of biochemical processes. Most previous investigations have focused on the capture of metal cations (primarily K+). Here, we address the versatility of valinomycin in the encapsulation of molecular ions of small and moderate size, with NH4+ and H4PO4+ as case studies. A combination of infrared action v
