• ; ethynyl; pUC19 plasmid; triptycene tripod; Introduction Triptycene is the simplest member of the class of compounds called iptycenes. Structurally, iptycenes have a number of arene rings joined together to form the bridges of [2.2.2]bicyclic ring systems. In triptycene, the bicyclic ring is decorated
