Amar H. Flood coauthored research on shape-persistent triazolophane hosts that bind halide anions. The cavity size and electronic properties of the framework tune recognition through multiple carbon-hydrogen contacts.
This demonstrates that an anion-binding pocket need not rely only on conventional oxygen-hydrogen or nitrogen-hydrogen donors. Shape and the collective effect of several weaker contacts can produce selective molecular recognition.[ref]
