surfaces and saccharide CH groups are common motifs in natural carbohydrate recognition. These CH−π interactions are modeled in “synthetic lectins” which employ oligophenyl units as apolar surfaces. Here we report the synthesis and study of new synthetic lectins with fluoro- and hydroxy-substituted biphenyl units, designed to explore the role of π-electron density in carbohydrate CH−π interactions. We find
