Abstract
A novel tripodal fluorescent receptor with benzimidazole motifs as signaling unit is reported. The receptor can selectively bind iodide anion with drastic change in its fluorescence and UV/Vis spectra, while addition of other anions (Fâ, Clâ, Brâ, H2PO4-, SO42-, CH3COOâ, NO3- and CNâ) does not show any significant change. The formation of receptor-iodide hydrogen bonded complex is proved by NMR titration of the receptor in the presence of iodide anion.
