Tetrameric Cyclic Double Helicates as a Scaffold for a Molecular Solomon Link

Let's twist again: The one-pot synthesis of a molecular Solomon link assembles four iron(II) cations, four bis(aldehyde) molecules, and four bis(amine) building blocks. The process generates two interwoven 68-membered-ring macrocycles, which feature four crossing points, in 75 % yield. Copyright © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
