title: Synthesis and structure of 2,6,14- and 2,7,14-trisubstituted triptycene derivatives.
abstract: A series of 2,6,14- and 2,7,14-trisubstituted triptycene derivatives were efficiently synthesized and their structures were determined by NMR, MS spectra, and X-ray analysis. These trisubstituted triptycenes are potential building blocks for constructing novel receptors and synthetic molecular machines.
