	abstract = {Isobenzofurans (IBF)s have seen widespread use in the synthesis of both natural products and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. There are few examples that have two IBF entities linked in a fused aromatic ring system. Here we present the synthesis and characterization of a bis(IBF), 2,7-di(tert-butyl)pyreno[4,5-c:9,10-c{\textquoteright}]difuran. Reaction with bis(maleimide) dienophiles gives pyrenophanes. The solid-state structures of the bis(IBF) and two cyclophanes are discussed.},
