Chiral separation and characterization of triazatruxene-based face-rotating polyhedra: the role of non-covalent facial interactions

Chem Commun (Camb). 2018 May 3;54(37):4685-4688. doi: 10.1039/c8cc02049c.

Abstract

We constructed a series of novel chiral molecular face-rotating polyhedra (FRP) from two 10,15-dihydro-5H-diindolo[3,2-a:3',2'-c]carbazole (triazatruxene) derivatives and trans-1,2-cyclohexane diamine, and investigated how facial interactions and the positions of substituents determine the diastereoselectivity and geometry of the final assemblies.
