Abstract

Triangular ligands based on a central C ₃-symmetric backbone, ethylene linkages, and catechol ligand units, are prepared by a Wittig approach. The ligands form, in metal-directed self-assembly processes, tetrahedral coordination compounds of the composition M₄L₄.

Key words

Wittig reaction - catechol - ligands - self-assembly - tetrahedra
