For your I's only : A new imidazolium‐based fluorescent cyclophane 1 was designed and synthesized that was quenched selectively in the presence of iodide but not other anions, as assessed by fluorimetry. In addition, fluorescence titration experiments, 1 H NMR spectroscopic data, and theoretical calculations provide evidence that 1 encapsulates two iodides inside its cavity.
