Synthesis of novel acetylenic cyclophanes with helical chirality: Potential new structures for liquid crystals
(matrix presented) The synthesis of a series of novel acetylenic cyclophanes is described. X-ray crystallographic analysis of the core structure revealed a twisted conformation with helical chirality. Preliminary results suggest that these cyclophanes, wi
