Synthesis and structure of the calixarene-like phosph(iii)azane macrocycle [{P(µ-NtBu)}2{1,5-(NH)2C10H6}]3

Abstract
The reaction of [ClP(μ-NtBu)]2 with 1,5-diamino-naphthalene [1,5-(NH2)2C10H6] in Et3N–thf gives the trimeric macrocycle [{P(μ-NtBu)}2{1,5-(NH)2C10H6}]3 (1); the X-ray structure of the toluene solvate 1·3toluene reveals a cone-shaped (calixarene-like) arrangement in which toluene guest molecules are trapped within the cavity.
