In the present study, these two types of π-acidic moieties have been combined within a single molecule to examine its potential joint anion binding properties. The ligand 2-(N,N-di(pyridin- 2-yl))-4-(perfluorophenoxy)-6-phenoxy{1,3,5}triazine (dppftz; Scheme 1) was prepared from 2,4,6-trichloro-{1,3,5}triazine, applying an experimental procedure described earlier (see ESI†). 20 Ligand dppftz possesses a 1,3,5-triazine core bearing three different functional ...
