The syntheses, characterization, and inclusion properties of two new trinuclear boron compounds having a calixlike shape are described. Macrocyclic compounds were obtained vía self‐assembly reactions between salicylaldehyde carboxyl derivatives and 3‐aminophenylboronic acid, whereby the formation of three N–B coordination bonds favored the oligomerization process. The products are stable to moisture and have good solubility in organic solvents. The inclusion properties toward primary amines and pyrophosphate were analyzed by titration experiments and monitored by UV‐vis spectroscopy. Association constants around 103‐105 M−1 were determined for both compounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
