Intramolecular hydrogen bonds preorganize an aryl-triazole receptor into a crescent for chloride binding.
Aryl-triazole pentads have been preorganized with intramolecular hydrogen bonds to enhance chloride binding. This outcome highlights the dual hydrogen bond donor and acceptor properties of 1,2,3-triazoles.
