Abstract

Novel lantern-shaped molecules with a large enclosure were synthesized by taking advantage of resorcin [4) arene and mterphenyl units as the capping and bottom fragments, respectively. Two conformers with different cavity volume were obtained selectively by changing the substituent on the bottom unit.
