Three bibrachial cyclobisintercaland-type macrocycles with a 2, 6-naphthylene scaffold and pyrene, ferrocene, or primary amino groups in side chains were synthesized by a [2+ 2]- cyclocondensation of functionalized diethylenetriamine derivatives with naphthalene-2, 6- dialdehyde, whereas their monobrachial counterparts were prepared by a [1+ 1]- cyclocondensation of polyamines with a corresponding dialdehyde building block. The ...
