Synthesis and structure of the calixarene-like phosph(III)azane macrocycle [{P(mu-N(t)Bu)}2{1,5-(NH)2C10H6}]3.
The reaction of [ClP(mu-NtBu)]2 with 1,5-diamino-naphthalene [1,5-(NH2)2C10H6] in Et3N-thf gives the trimeric macrocycle [{P(mu-NtBu)}2{1,5-(NH)2C10H6}]3(1); the X-ray structure of the toluene solvate 1.3toluene reveals a cone-shaped (calixarene-like) arrangement in which toluene guest molecules are trapped within the cavity.
