Preparation, structure and dimerization of molecular tweezer: Cyanuric acid core based flexible symmetric linked pthalimide moiety as a heteroaromatic system

Abstract

Here, we synthesize tripodal tweezer molecule which have cyanuric acid in the center, propylene as a linker and pthalimide hetrocycle as terminal for conformational applications. The propylene linker promote intramolecular and intermolecular interactions within and encircle molecules. Appropriately, the geometrical specification set for the molecules which must be concert about conformations in different states. The conformational studies of this tripodal compound has been carried by X-ray crystallography. Evaluation of conformational stability in different conformation through theoretical calculations has been done. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.
