Abstract
Inspired by the tessellation or tiling process in daily life, a rigid triangular macrocyclic molecule containing anthracene as a photo-active moiety was synthesized to realize pre-organization through π-π interactions. The successful preparation of a 2D polymer monolayer at the air/water interface was achieved through [4+4]-photocycloaddition.
