Abstract

A series of tricyclic tetraamides have been synthesized and were characterized from spectral and XRD studies. XRD studies revealed that the pyridine-based tricyclic cyclophane amide exists with twisted phenyl rings. All the cyclophane compounds form charge-transfer (CT) complexes with TCNQ. Metal ion complexation studies show that the cyclophane amides are more selective towards Cu(II) ions rather than Ni(II) and Cd(II) ions.
