“…These adverse and beneficial effects of fluoride prompted many scientists to develop chemosensors for fluoride recognition [15]. Fluoride ion receptors based on triarylboranes [21,22], desilyation [23,24], Pyrroles [25,26], amides [27][28][29][30], ureas [31,32], thioureas [33][34][35], or sulphonamides [36,37] are available in literature. Receptors based on NH and OH deprotonation or hydrogen bond formation by fluoride ion [38][39][40][41] failed to report the selectivity of F -ion over the other competitive anions.…”
