Abstract

The synthesis, characterization, and solid-state structures of new salicylaldimines are reported. Bis (N-salicylideneaniline) s (BSANs) and tris (N-salicylideneaniline) s (TSANs) are sterically encumbered compounds featuring a central six-membered ring in the keto- enamine tautomer. When extended with additional functional groups, these molecules may form hydrogen-bonded capsules, clefts, and extended structures. A TSAN with Nt BOC-o- ...
