A pentiptycene-based bis(crown ether) host: synthesis and its complexation with cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene).
A novel pentiptycene-based bis(crown ether) host incorporating two dibenzo-24-crown-8 ether moieties has been synthesized, and its efficient complexation ability toward cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) in solution and in the solid state has been explored.
