Significance

The interlocked oligothiophene macrocycle 1 was synthesized via a heteroleptic template approach, with the help of a platina-macrocycle intermediate; the corresponding homoleptic approach to the synthesis of 1 resulted in relatively poor yields of the desired product. The structure of the isolated copper(I) catenate was confirmed by ESI-FT-ICR and tandem mass spectrometry.
