A general synthetic route to inherently luminescent and optically active 6-fold substituted C-3-symmetric and asymmetric biphenyl-based trianglimines has been developed. The synthesis of these hexa-substituted triangular macrocycles takes advantage of a convenient method for the synthesis of symmetr...
