Figure 4: Synthesis and crystal structure of a thiatetrohedrophane.
From: A facile route to old and new cyclophanes via self-assembly and capture
Desulfurization (a) of L34 gives tetrathioether [34]tetrahedrophane 5 (6 mol HMPT). Single-crystal X-ray structure representation of thiatetrahedrophane 5 (b); all thermal ellipsoids at 50%. Hydrogen atoms and solvents of crystallization have been omitted for clarity.
