Abstract

The rational design and synthesis of a novel contorted calix[2]phyrin(2.2.1.1.1) structure has been achieved, utilizing a terphenyl unit as a key building component. This terphenyl unit serves as a segment of the armchair periphery in a π-extended two-dimensional architecture. The resulting molecule exhibits remarkable properties, including the ability to self-assemble into solid-state supramolecular nanotubes. Additionally, it has demonstrated an affinity for complexation with fluoride anions, highlighting its potential for applications in molecular recognition and sensor technology. The incorporation of the terphenyl unit not only enhances the structural rigidity but also contributes to the unique electronic characteristics of the calix[2]phyrin.
