title: Unprecedented formation of an N-benzamidobisthiourea derivative and its role in the formation of a new CT state specific towards fluoride ion.
abstract: A novel N-benzamidobisthiourea derivative (1) was synthesized. Tuning of its emission from the locally excited (LE) state to the charge transfer (CT) state was observed specifically for fluoride ion.
