title: A C3-symmetric molecular scaffold for the construction of large receptors.
abstract: A novel C3-symmetric scaffold has been efficiently synthesized exhibiting the property that variable receptor arms can be easily attached by simple alkylation reactions; the utility of the scaffold as a skeleton for large receptors has been examined with a corresponding tris(bipyridyl) derivative toward phloroglucinol.
