Abstract

Abstract : 2, 3, 4, 5-Tetrafluorobenzyl and imidazolium groups within an open-chain receptor allow for the effective binding of chloride in organic–water solution. Abstract : For the first time, the tetrafluorobenzyl unit has been considered as a C–H⋯anion binding motif. In synergy with imidazolium groups within a bowl-shaped receptor, it has allowed for the effective binding of chloride in solution. Remarkable affinity was observed in organic–water mixtures.
