Popis: Macrocyclic 10-mesityl-1,8-diphenylanthracene dimer 4 was synthesized by using the electron-transfer oxidation of Lipshutz cuprate derived from 1,8-bis(4-bromophenyl)-10-mesityl-anthracene 7 in moderate yield. This dimer 4 is a considerably fluorescent molecule (ΦF 0.40) with high thermal, photo, and air stability. The X-ray analysis of 4 revealed a unique structure with a small inner cavity which can incorporate a small molecule or atom. 1H NMR spectra in solution and emission spectra of 4 in the solid state showed that copper(I) ion was incorporated to form a 1:1 complex 4·CuOTf, whereas silver(I) ion only weakly interacted with 4 under similar conditions.
