The structures and strain energies of various derivatives of [5]- and [6]metacyclophanes have been computed by employing the density functional method (ADF). They showed a good agreement with the few available X-ray crystal structures. The structure of 9,12-dichloro[6]metacyclophane was experimentally determined at 200/233 K. Contrary to intuition, the incorporation of sp2-hybridised carbon atoms in the oligomethylene chain was found to have a minor influence only on the structure and strain energy of these compounds. It is concluded that small metacyclophanes with potentially interesting interactions between unsaturated fragments in the bridge and the aromatic ring or between two aromatic rings, e.g. the so far elusive [1.1]metacyclophane, are realistic synthetic targets. |
