Abstract

The bridged tri-imidazoliums 3 · 3X — 5 · 3X (X = PF6, Br, I) and bis-imidazoliums 6 × 2PF6 were synthesized by N-quaternization of imidazole derivative 1 in acetonitrile under reflux. UV spectroscopic titration experiments showed that the halide salts and hexafluorophosphate salts of these imidazoliums exhibited good recognition toward anions in water and in acetonitrile, respectively.
