Abstract

The symmetric four-armed geometry of pentaerythrityl tetraphenyl ether (5) makes it a valuable starting point for building complex molecular and supramolecular structures. In particular, it provides a core to which multiple sites of attractive intermolecular interaction can be attached, thereby creating compounds predisposed to form complex networks by association. To facilitate exploitation of the pentaerythrityl tetraphenyl ether core in such ...
