title: A cavitand with a fluorous rim acts as an amine receptor.
abstract: A deep cavitand featuring eight trifluoroacetyl groups attached to the open end has been synthesized; these functions provide new chemical surfaces and constrict access to the cavitand, yet increase the rates of guest exchange.
