3-D Cryptand Like Normal And Doubly N-Confused Calixbenzophyrins: Synthesis And Structural Studies

The three-dimensional (3-D) cryptand-like normal and doubly-N-confused calixbenzophyrins embedded with phenyl rings in the macrocyclic skeleton are successfully synthesized from single starting materials. These structural isomers are characterized by spectral studies and unambiguously confirmed by crystal analyses.
