A pyrrolo-tetrathiafulvalene cage: synthesis and X-ray crystal structure.
[reaction: see text] A novel type of tetrathiafulvalene-cage 4 containing three monopyrrolo-tetrathiafulvalene units has been prepared employing a general and efficient synthetic approach. X-ray crystal structure analysis revealed that the cage is able to accommodate solvent molecules within a cavity in the solid state.
