Abstract

The heteracalixarene series (N/O/S) has been expanded with Se-bridged cyclotrimeric macrocycles. Selenacalix[3]triazines were synthesized by convenient one-pot nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions and they showed peculiar supramolecular features. The N tridentate binding pocket was capable of coordinating both copper ions and anions.
