Macrocyclic compounds from benzenedithiols and triazine: Modification of tetrathiacalix[4]arene

Abstract magnified image Synthesis of macrocyclic compounds having benzenedithionate and triazine moieties was achieved by an efficient fragment coupling approach. In the solid state, they adopted 1,3 ‐alternate conformations. Combination of two pairs of electron rich and electron poor units, and ortho‐ortho and/or ortho‐meta connections of sulfur atoms with aromatic carbons were novel features of the macrocycles.
