Cyclophanes within Cyclophanes: The Synthesis of a Pyromellitic Diimide‐Based Macrocycle as a Structural Unit in a Molecular Tube and Its Inclusion Phenomena

Abstract

Food for tubes: Cyclophane-type macrocycles are used as building blocks for the formation of tubular structures. The inclusion properties of these molecules are studied, and the “cyclophane in cyclophane” 1 was characterized by X-ray crystallography.
