Fluoride binding by artificial receptors in pure water is a challenging task due to the high hydration enthalpy of this anion. We show that a water-soluble boron-based tripodal receptor, featuring three flexible ammonium-containing arms, is capable of binding fluoride despite the presence of excess water.
