The crystalline inclusions of the host compound trans-1 1,12-bis[bis@-chlorophenyl)hydroxymethyl]-9,10ethanoanthracene, with guests such as pentan-2-01 [l.pentan-2-01(1: l), la], 1,4-dioxane [ 1*1,4-dioxane (2: 5), lb] and o-xylene [loo-xylene (1 :2), lc] were shown by X-ray analysis to have host matrices mainly determined by directional 'electrophile-nucleophile pairing' interactions, involving a chloro substituent Paper 6/02608G
A series of new clathrate host molecules (1–10) containing two diarylhydroxymethyl groups attached to different positions (1,5 or 1,8) of a basic anthracene construction unit have been synthesized. Their clathrate formation properties with a variety of organic guests, including amines, alcohols, ketones, and other dipolar aprotic compounds or aromatic hydrocarbons are reported (143 examples of clathrates). The inclusion properties and the clathrate stoichiometries depend in a systematic manner on the structure of the host molecules. The crystal structures of six selected clathrates of different classes of compound have been determined by X‐ray diffraction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
