Synthesis of 7-Pentafluorophenyl-1H-indole: An Anion Receptor for Anion–π Interactions
7-Pentafluorophenyl-1H-indole has the potential to be a key compound for the investigation of anion–π interactions in solution. Unfortunately, it was not possible to obtain it by aryl–aryl coupling reaction. Finally, it has been prepared by Bartoli indole synthesis. The key compound as well as analogues were submitted to preliminary studies of anion binding. Single crystals of two key receptors were obtained.
Synthesis of Quinoline-Based Anion Receptors and Preliminary Anion Binding Studies with Selected Derivatives
Six quinoline-based anion receptors were designed, prepared, and characterized, among which the crystal structure of an indole derivative was obtained. Selected receptors were tested for the recognition of halide anions in solution and showed some selectivity of chloride over bromide and iodide.
