Abstract

Abstract The reaction of U-shaped, bimetallic, Cu I complexes, assembled from a heteroditopic pincer, with cyano-capped π-conjugated linkers gives a straightforward access to π-stacked metallocyclophanes in good yields. In these assemblies, the π-walls have an almost face-to-face arrangement. The versatility of this rational supramolecular synthesis is demonstrated with the use of linkers that have nanoscale lengths (up to 27.7 Å), different ...
