“…[31,32,34,38] Among these species, the majority are dimeric species (n = 2). [31,32,34] In the case of trimeric P III 2 N 2 macrocycles (n = 3), only two examples have been isolated and fully characterised. [34,39] Large folded tetrameric macrocycles (n = 4) have only been obtained from 1,4-diaminobenzene in moderate yields, [40] and with resorcinol as a minor product.…”
