Abstract

The tris‐carotenoid macrobicycles 1 and 2 were obtained in good yields in a one‐step macrobicyclisation condensation between the tripode N(CH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>NH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub> and the polyolefinic dialdehydes 5 and 6. They form dinuclear cryptates by complexation of two Cu<sup>I</sup> ions. The crystal structure of the tris‐carotenoid compound 2 confirms that it contains three parallel polyolefinic strands. These substances may formally be considered as prototypes of molecular ‘cables’ formed by three electron‐conducting molecular wires. Copyright © 1992 Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
