Molecular architectures of multi-anthracene assemblies

Safe storage of radical initiators within a polyaromatic nanocapsule

“…Supramolecular nanocapsule 1 provides a spherical cavity protected by eight anthracene panels (Fig. 1b) [24][25][26] . The capsule assembles from two Pd(II) ions and four bent bispyridine ligands 2 with two embedded anthracene rings in a quantitative yield and encapsulates neutral guest molecules with the size up to 1 nm, in which the guests are shaded from the outside by the closed polyaromatic shell.…”

A polyaromatic molecular tube that binds long hydrocarbons with high selectivity

“…2a) with two embedded anthracene panels to design molecular tube 1. The rigidly bent conformation of 2b facilitates the formation of supramolecular assemblies such as (i) capsular structures through noncovalent, coordinative transition-metal linkages [18][19][20][21] and (ii) bowlshaped structures through covalent methylene linkages 22,23 . For the preparation of the tubular structure, we employed Zincke reaction 24,25 to form two phenyl-pyridyl bonds on 1 without using a transition-metal catalyst.…”
