Structural analysis reveals a D3h-symmetric C62 hydrocarbon with three U-shaped cavities, suggesting utility in host-guest supramolecular chemistry.

Characterize the structural framework and geometric properties of tritriptycene, a novel C62 hydrocarbon exhibiting high D3h symmetry.
Carried out the chemical synthesis of the extended polycyclic hydrocarbon tritriptycene.
Determined the molecular architecture and symmetry parameters focusing on its rigid three-dimensional cavity arrangement.
Constructed a stable D3h-symmetric C62 carbon framework containing three distinct U-shaped clefts.
Demonstrated that the rigid molecular geometry creates open clefts potentially suited for binding complementary guest species.

Bashir‐Hashemi et al. (1986) studied this question.
