1H/19F diffusion NMR and 19F GEST NMR are utilized to characterize the encapsulation of bulky isosteric guests into the hexameric capsules of resorcin[4]arene and pyrogallol[4]arene.
We report on a two-dimensional hexagonal “honeycomb” network comprising barium-seamed metal–organic nanocapsules involving a hexameric assembly of pyrogallol[4]arene ligands.
Synthetic strategies towards the synthesis of fluoranthenes and benzo[j]fluoranthene-based natural products, along with their major applications, are discussed.
A new class of pyrogallol[4]arene metal-organic nanocapsules has been discovered which are seamed by Ca2+-containing polyatomic ions and have unprecedented internal volume.
We present an intramolecular charge transfer state in fluoranthene derivatives, established using detailed spectroscopic techniques. The present work paves an avenue toward the design of fluoranthene-based chromophores for applications in optoelectronics.
