title: Stabilisation of a very short Cu-F bond within the protected cavity of a copper(ii) compound from a tris(2-aminoethyl)amine derivative.
abstract: The copper(ii) coordination compound of an N-functionalised derivative of tris(2-aminoethyl)amine forms a cavity that is an excellent fluoride ion host, generating a Cu-F entity with a very short distance (182 pm) and characterised by a fluoride ion devoid of any additional intermolecular interactions.
