An all-halogen bonding rotaxane for selective sensing of halides in aqueous media.

The synthesis and anion binding properties of the first rotaxane host system to bind and sense anions purely through halogen bonding, is described. Through a combination of polarized iodotriazole and iodotriazolium halogen bond donors, a three-dimensional cavity is created for anion binding. This ro...
