The interactions between chemosensors, 3-amino-5-(4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indol-2-yl)isoxazole-4-carboxamide (AIC) derivatives, and different anions (F(-) Cl(-), Br(-), AcO(-), and H(2)PO(4) (-)) have been theoretically investigated using DFT approaches. It turned out that the unique selectivity of AIC derivatives for F(-) is ascribed to their ability of deprotonating the host sensors. Frontier molecular orbital (FMO) analyses have shown that the vertical electronic transitions of absorption and e ...[more]
