- Abstract
The tris-carotenoid macrobicycles 1 and 2 were obtained in good yields in a one-step macrobicyclisation condensation between the tripode N(CH2CH2NH2)3 and the polyolefinic dialdehydes 5 and 6. They form dinuclear cryptates by complexation of two CuI ions. The crystal structure of the tris-carotenoid compound 2 confirms that it contains three parallel polyolefinic strands. These substances may formally be considered as prototypes of molecular 'cables' formed by three electron-conducting molecular wires.
