Graphical Abstract
Chiralität für den Propeller: Bei der Herstellung von chiralen Käfigen mit Propeller-artigem Aufbau und Pseudo-C3-Symmetrie (siehe Bild; R=H, Cl) lässt sich durch Kontrolle der topologischen Asymmetrie ein ausgezeichneter Chiralitätstransfer erzielen. Zwei tripodale Einheiten werden durch drei P=N-Bindungen verknüpft, ein „Tripod-Tripod-Kupplungsprozess“, der von einer bemerkenswerten dreifachen Stickstoffabspaltung begleitet ist.

The imination of tertiary phosphanes by azides, via intermediate phosphazides, to yield λ5-phosphazenes is known as the Staudinger PIII imination reaction: R
P + R2N3→R
P=N−N=N−R2→R
P=NR2 + N2. For references and reviews see: H. Staudinger, J. Meyer, Helv. Chim. Acta 1919, 2, 635;

, a=12.453(3), b=14.853(3), c=19.456(6) Å, α=85.522(14), β=89.845(15), γ=72.399(12)°, V=3419.0(15) Å3, Z=2, unique data 10 508 (2θ≤48°), parameters 796, R1 [F 2>2σ(F 2)] 0.190, wR2 (all data) 0.422. The poor overall precision resulted from the presence of a great deal of disordered chloroform, coupled with poor overall crystal quality as a result of decomposition. The structural details of the macrobicycle are clear and unambiguous, however. CCDC-143862 (2 b), and -172792 (4 b) contain the supplementary crystallographic data for this paper.

- 9 The conventional assignment of the stereochemical descriptor P or M (helical twist sense) to the propeller units of the chiral macrobicycles was made by looking at the molecule along its threefold axis from the side of the tribenzylamine fragment.
