Abstract

We have investigated Ag(I) mediated folding of a tridentate compound, containing three pyridine flaps tethered to a semirigid scaffold, into a molecular basket, using both experimental and theoretical methods. The basket formation has been shown to be highly favorable in organic media (ΔG° = −7.2 kcal/mol), with the assembly process allowing for another ligand to bind preferentially on the outer side.

Fabrizio Fabris, Cristiano Zonta, Giuseppe Borsato, and Ottorino De LucchiAccounts of Chemical Research2011 44 (6), 416-423The formal annulation of three bicylic olefins yields a class of molecules termed benzocyclotrimers (BCTs), which have unusual electronic properties. The bonds in the central aromatic ring, for example, alternate in length: rather than resembling a ...

Bao-Yu Wang, Xiaoguang Bao, Sandra Stojanović, Christopher M. Hadad and Jovica D. BadjićOrganic Letters2008 10 (23), 5361-5364Molecular basket 1 has been designed to contain a set of aromatic gates, each with rotational mobility restricted via intramolecular hydrogen bonding. This structural, yet dynamic, feature of the host has been revealed to permit the formation of a ...
