Abstract

Abstract : 1, 3, 5-Triethylbenzene based tripodal trisilanols were synthesized. X-ray, NMR and ESI-mass spectra disclosed the first example of an organotrisilanol molecular capsule based on a 1, 3, 5-triethylbenzene scaffold which showed encapsulation of H2 O or halogen anions in both the crystalline and solution states. Abstract : 1, 3, 5-Triethylbenzene based tripodal trisilanols were synthesized. The X-ray crystal structures of trisilanols showed capsule formation as well as non-capsular network formation using silanol hydrogen bonds. The 1 H NMR and ESI-mass spectroscopy experiments for solution state binding supported encapsulation of the halide ions in the cavity of the molecular capsule with a C 3 symmetry.
