Abstract:Partial collapse of the ladder-shaped tunnels of a crystalline cryptophane derived coordination polymer is monitored by single crystal X-ray diffraction.
“…Tripodal derivatives such as those shown in Scheme 1 are chiral. The self-assembly of derivatised CTVs with metal cations is well established, and coordination polymers, [35][36][37] discrete metallocages, [38][39][40][41][42] and mechanically interlocked architectures [43][44][45] are known. However, the chemistry of mixed ligand systems is generally limited to the solution-phase, and we have recently demonstrated how the formation and manipulation of homo-and heteroleptic [Pd 6 L 8 ] 12+ octahedral cages can be controlled with high fidelity.…”
Propylated cyclotriveratrylene (CTV) ligands display different coordination chemistry over their methylated congeners as a result of increased solubility, an affinity for alkyl chain aggregation and steric factors.

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.
