A Fluorescent Quinoline Derivative as Selective Receptor for Fluoride Anions

Abstract

The fluorescent anion receptor 7 based on a quinoline backbone and on amide and urea side chains is prepared and fluorescence titrations in chloroform reveal a high affinity for fluoride (K_a = 14400 M^-1) over chloride (K_a = 3100 M^-1) and bromide (K_a = 640 M^-1).
