Two N-bridged pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized toward realization of a self-assembled bis-rosette cage, in organic media. Starting from commercially available ma lononitrile dimer and dimethyl 5-aminoisophthalate, the target molecules were synthesized in 11 steps using a convergent approach. The final bridged compounds were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry. The hierarchical self-assembly of the nanocages into rosette nanotubes and nanobundles was established by electron microscopy and molecular modelling studies.
