An expedient methodology to synthesize macrocyclic compounds in one step based on the Nicholas reaction is disclosed. The key step features two intermolecular reactions followed by an intramolecular reaction from the starting dicobalt hexacarbonyl-propargylic complex. The macrocycles obtained were modified through [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition, generating two new C3-symmetric hexasubstituted benzene structures suitable for molecular recognition purposes.

Shape-Persistent, Sterically Crowded Star Mesogens: From Exceptional Columnar Dimer Stacks to Supermesogens.

Hexasubstituted C3 -symmetric benzenes with three oligophenylenevinylene (OPV) arms and three pyridyl or phenyl substituents are shape-persistent star mesogens that are sterically crowded in the center. Such molecular structures possess large void spaces between their arms, which have to be filled in condensed phases. For the neat materials, this is accomplished by an exceptional formation of dimers and short-range helical packing in columnar mesophases.

A novel very simple C3-symmetric lactam has been rationally designed to self-assemble as dimers or larger platonic solid capsules. Its core flat benzene ring bears three seven-membered lactams, resulting in tripod molecules that aggregate into robust tetrameric capsules. The self-assembly process was templated by tetraethylammonium cations and proven to be reversible by ESI spectroscopy in various solvents.

The conversion of 1,3,5-substituted benzene and mesitylene by electrophilic aromatic substitution and Sonogashira cross-coupling, respectively, furnished the C3-symmetric, hexasubstituted benzene derivatives 1 and 2 with an alternating substitution pattern. Based on the molecular scaffolds obtained, the two systems serve as model compounds for novel receptor molecules with distinct geometric features. X-ray structures have been obtained for 1 and 2, which are discussed in regard to their aptitude as receptor platforms or supramolecular building blocks.
