Inside Cover: Enantiomerically Pure Alleno–Acetylenic Macrocycles: Synthesis, Solid-State Structures, Chiroptical Properties, and Electron Localization Function Analysis (Chem. Eur. J. 32/2010)

摘要

Enantiopure alleno–acetylenic macrocycles have been prepared and fully characterized. Their extraordinary intense circular dichrosim (see picture) has been extensively studied and a mechanism for this remarkable response has been proposed. Additionally, the extent of the aromaticity was investigated by using the electron localization function. For more details see the Full Paper by F. Diederich, H. S. Rzepa et al. on page 9796 ff.
