Triptycene-based tetralactam macrocycles: synthesis, structure and complexation with squaraine.
Two novel triptycene-based tetralactam macrocycles as a pair of diastereomers were synthesized, and showed highly efficient complexation with squaraine, which could subsequently protect the squaraine dye from polar solvents.
