Abstract:The ability of perfluorinated terephthalonitrile to act as an anion‐π donor fragment in anion receptors is evaluated. New receptors combining an urea and a perfluorinated terephthalonitrile motif into a single architecture have been designed and synthesized. Their molecular recognition properties towards Cl−, Br− and I−, have been studied in solution by means of 1H and 19F NMR as well as photophysical experiments. A complementary electrospray ionization‐tandem mass spectrometry study confirmed the ranking of r… Show more
