Synthetic study and structure of cage-type cyclophane C36H36S6

A cage compound was synthesized in order to investigate the structure and cation-π interactions of the metal ion complex. The multi-step synthesis was achieved starting from trimesic acid triethyl ester. In solution, a completely symmetrical structure that was anticipated by the molecular design was observed by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. However, in the solid state, X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed that the compound had a collapsed structure.
