Synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of a new redox-active calix[5]arene containing a totally included ethanol molecule
Abstract
A novel p-tert-butylcalix[5]arene trisferrocenoyl ester molecule L has been prepared; the X-ray crystal structure of the ethanol complex of L reveals the guest molecule bound deep in the cavity of the calix[5]arene.
