A series of new trisguanidinate lanthanide complexes including the first THF-solvated trisguanidinate lanthanum complexes were synthesized and fully characterized. The complexes were found to be effic
Biphenylation using (Li(THF)4)2·Zr(biphe)3 of hexabromotriptycenes bearing H (1-H) or Bu (1-Bu) at the bridgeheads gave triptycenes with triphenylene blades. The blades extend both perpendicular and p
