Abstract

Abstract Multivalent PyBox asterisk ligand 1 and monovalent ligand 2 are reported. The innovative feature in 1 is a sulfur-rich persulfurated benzene core as a template joining six PyBox units in close proximity. An efficient persulfuration of C 6 Cl 6 with p- methoxybenzenethiol (95%,> 99% per C–S bond) and deprotection led to hexaphenol 4. Six O-arylations of 4 with Cl-PyBox 3 (94%,> 99% per C–O bond) provided 1. The electronic ...
