<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.<Strong, Size-Selective, and Electronically Tunable C-H Halide Binding with Steric Control over Aggregation from Synthetically Modular, Shape-Persistent Triazolophanes by Yongjun Li and Amar H.
