Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1996.145

Dioxa[3.3](3,6)carbazolophane 1 has been synthesized by the cyclization reaction between 3,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)carbazole and corresponding dibromide. The transannular π-π electronic properties of 1 in solution were examined by absorption and emission spectra. The structure of 1 was confirmed by X-ray crystal analysis.
