Repeated use of a Lewis-acid catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction led to the stereoselective construction of the perhydroanthracene and decalin target molecules. A covalently induced triple ring flip of the perhydroanthacene system was achieved by the formation of a bisacetal. A chelation induced conformational switch was possible with bipyridine receptor groups in positions 6 and 7 and Zn(II) as the incoming signal. By attaching pyrene effectors in positions 2 and 3 the ability of the device to transduce a molecular signal from the receptor via the biconformational transducer to the effector leading to an outcoming photosignal was proven. Key words conformational analysis - molecular switch - perhydroanthracene - signal transduction - stereoselective synthesis Full Text References References <A NAME="RA27402ST-1">1</A> Krauss G.
