Preparation, structures and preliminary host–guest studies of fluorinated syn-bis-quinoxaline molecular tweezers

A series of polycyclic frameworks with fluorinated syn-facial quinoxaline sidewalls has been prepared as potential molecular tweezers for electron-rich guest compounds. Our synthetic route to the cyclooctadiene-derived scaffolds 16a–d takes advantage of the facile isolation of a novel spirocyclic pr...
