Abstract

The highly effective self-assembly process between 2,4,6-tris(isopropyl)phenylphosphine or mesitylphosphine, formaldehyde and 1,4-bis(α-(4′-aminophenyl)isopropyl)benzene results in the formation of a novel type of heterocyclophane which is able to encapsulate organic molecules as well as being a potential ligand for transition metals inside the intramolecular cavity. Compounds of this type can be regarded as potential precursors for a new kind of molecular reactors.
