• observed a coordination of the triflates along the C–I axis with distances of 2.705 Å (I1–O1) and 2.898 Å (I1–O5). For the ortho-methyl-substituted analogue 5ax, no halogen bonding to the triflates was observed, indicating an effective steric protection of the σ-holes [36]. Instead, there were only two

• , urethanes and isocyanates point inward (Scheme 9). This observation was confirmed by X-ray crystallography as well as calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G** level [38][39]. The tert-butyl groups provide steric protection to the exo sides of the molecules, making the diisocyanate stable at ordinary temperatures

• ] (Figure 3). The density of the radical is primarily on the central carbon with some charge distribution to the nitrogen substituents [51][52][53]. Radical stability is largely due to steric protection [53] of the central carbon which is consistent with what is observed for the radiation dose sensitivities

The ruthenium complex showed intermolecular π stacking of ligands on neighboring complexes in the solid state; yet terpyridine analogs did not

• yields of tainted products [43]. This practical complication was very unfortunate because bulky aromatic substituents, such as mesityl (2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) or 2,6-diisopropylphenyl groups, often provide the right balance of electronic donation and steric protection to many NHC-based catalytic systems

• germanium [12] species. Clearly, the bisdioxine macrocycles such as 4 and 5 will not be nearly as rigid, but they may nevertheless exert some steric protection. Herein we report the realisation of the first step toward this end, the preparation of functionalized macrocyclic bisdioxine derivatives. Results

• macrocycle does not take place. Conclusion The difficulty of reduction of the nitro compounds, in particular the 1,2,3-trisubstituted compound 11, as well as the conversion of only one of the bisdioxine units in 8 to a tetraoxaadamantane suggests that these macrocycles provide steric protection of the
