Abstract

Abstract: Although studies of the*-electron interactions in cyclophanes having decks with (4n+ 2) a-electrons are quite extensive, very little is known about cyclophanes with decks of 4n a-electrons or the forced interactions of 4n with 4n or 4n with (4n+ 2) a-electron systems. Syntheses of the title compounds, 8 and 15, the first cyclophanes containing one cyclooctatetraene deck, are described. Single-crystal X-ray analyses show the ...
