β-Perfluoroalkyl-substituted pyrrole as an anion-responsive π-electronic system through a single NH moiety†
Abstract
A pyrrole derivative with two perfluorohexyl (C6F13) chains at the β-positions was synthesized. The significant electron-withdrawing properties of the β-perfluoroalkyl chains induced fascinating anion-binding behaviour.
