Abstract

The synthesis of thiacalix[3]triazines and 1,3,5- tris(4-bromophenyl)benzene have been synthesized via simple steps and was characterized to determine the chemical structure. The structure of Thiacalix[3]triazines was characterized via 1H NMR and 13C NMR that conformed the expected structure of compound. In addition, the thiacalix[3]triazines exhibited the λmax at 560 nm and λonset at 720 nm which corresponding to the bandgap of 1.7 ev. Thiacalix[3]triazines, cyclotrimeric metacyclophanes with direct S linkages between the heteroaryl constituents, were shown to associate with anion that could be useful for chemsensor application.
