title: The first electroresponsive phenylazomethine macrocycles: highly preferential formation and regular molecular packing.
abstract: [structure: see text] Highly preferential formation of novel polyphenylazomethine macrocycles was achieved by further addition of TiCl(4) and/or the monomer during the course of the polycondensation. These macrocycles have unique structures based on the (E)/(Z)-conformation of the azomethine bonds, the extremely regular molecular-packing state, and the reversible redox properties by protic acid doping.
