Oligo Tr?ger's bases—new molecular scaffolds?

Chemical Society Reviews Pub Date: 2012-03-22 DOI: 10.1039/C2CS15307F

Abstract

Oligo Tr?ger's bases are compounds containing two or more Tr?ger's base subunits (1,5-methanodiareno[b,f][1,5]diazocines) sharing one or more arene parts. Due to their interesting molecular shapes, these compounds are studied as chiral molecular tweezers, clips, cavitands, clefts, calixes, etc. This review includes all available data on oligo Tr?ger's bases, and introduces their preparation and properties to a wide audience.
