Room for a small one : A series of [1,3,5]cyclophane‐based receptors incorporating triazine, cyanuric acid, or boroxine rings are predicted to strongly complex fluoride ions by a combination of anion–π interactions and ion‐pair reinforced hydrogen bonding, while size‐excluding the larger chloride anion. The top view of a calculated structure of the triazine cage with an included fluoride ion is shown.
