Recognition and complexation of hydrated fluoride anion: F2(H2O)(6)(2-) templated formation of a dimeric capsule of a tripodal amide.
An arene based tripodal amide receptor shows selective dimeric capsule formation templated by fluoride-water cluster, [F2(H2O)(6)]2-, and non-capsular aggregation for chloride, nitrate and acetate anions.
