Jl. Sessler et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A NOVEL 3-DIMENSIONAL OLIGOPYRROLE - TRIS(BIPYRRO)METHANE, Chemical communications, (20), 1996, pp. 2311-2312
The synthesis, characterization and X-ray structure of the novel three
dimensional tris(bipyrro)methane 3 is reported; this species is predi
sposed to self-assemble into a cryptand-like dimer in both organic sol
ution and the solid state.
