“…40 The shorter C-N bonds result in a decreased bite angle between the two reactive amines from 120° to 108°, leading to the realization of a pentagonal structure. This approach yielded structurally and electronically diverse macrocycles using terephthalaldehyde (PDA), 2,3,5,6tetrafluoroterephthalaldehyde (F4-PDA), 41-42 2,5-dimethoxyterephthalaldheyde (DiOMe-PDA), [43][44] and 9,10-anthracenedicarboxaldehyde (9,10-ADA) monomers (Schemes S19-22). [45][46] Lastly, we prepared a diamond shaped [2+2] macrocycle from DAPP and 4,4′-(1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-diyl)dibenzaldehyde…”
