We synthesized a simple fluorescent receptor 3 bearing two boronic acid groups as recognition sites. The recognition behaviour of receptor 3 towards various anions was evaluated in THF/H 2 O (1:1, v/v) solution. Receptor 3 showed high selectivity for iodide among a series of anions.

Summary:We synthesized a simple fluorescent receptor 3 bearing two boronic acid groups as recognition sites. The recognition behaviour of receptor 3 towards various anions was evaluated in THF/H 2 O (1:1, v/v) solution. Receptor 3 showed high selectivity for iodide among a series of anions. Fluorescence spectroscopy and computational calculations revealed that the electrostatic interaction played a crucial role in its high selectivity for iodide. A simple boronic acid-based fluorescent receptor was synthesized and the receptor showed high selectivity for iodide among a series of anions.
