Abstract

Macrocycles consisting of two tris(phenylene ethynylene) (or tri-PE) units connected via two flexible linkers adopt an 'unfolded' conformation that is converted into a folded conformation upon introducing intramolecular hydrogen bonding interaction. These foldable macrocycles are capable of forming inclusion charge transfer (CT) complex with electron-deficient small aromatics.
