Efficient synthesis of phenylene-ethynylene rods and their use as rigid spacers in divalent inhibitors

The synthesis of phenylene-ethynylene rods and their use as rigid spacers is described. Alternation of a Sonogashira reaction and silyl group cleavage was used to obtain rigid spacers with even and odd numbers of phenylene units. Preliminary applications of these rods in divalent systems are shown....
