Abstract

Recently, we reported a new synthetic approach toward a ­series of thiacalix[n]thiophene and thiacalix[n]dithienothiophene derivatives, cyclic homologues of sulfur-bridged cyclic oligothiophenes. A palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of stannyl sulfide (Bu3Sn)2S and dibromothiophene/dibromodithienothiophene derivatives gave the corresponding macrocycles in good yield. Substituents at the β-position can play a key role in effective cyclization. This paper also summarizes the molecular and electronic structures of the novel macrocycles. Unlike conventional calixarenes, they exhibit distinct electron-donating properties. Furthermore, self-assembly and host–guest properties, leading to supramolecular structures, are also briefly discussed.
