Abstract
The phenol trimer, 5,5′,5″-trichloro-1,17prime;:3′, 1′-terphenyl-2,2′,2″-triol (1), facilely affords the 1:1 complex (I) with triethylamine owing to its enhanced acidity. IR spectra reveal that I is a proton transfer complex. In the X-ray structure of I, a long phenoxide C-O bond is observed that may be due to unusual sp3 hybridization of the phenoxide oxygen atom caused by strong intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonding.
