Nk. Dalley et al., SYNTHESIS OF A NEW CYCLOPHANE HOST AND CRYSTAL-STRUCTURES OF ITS COMPOUNDS WITH NEUTRAL GUESTS, Journal of inclusion phenomena and molecular recognition in chemistry, 29(3-4), 1997, pp. 323-334
A new cyclophane host molecule 3 is prepared by connecting the oxygen
atoms of two ,alpha'-di(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,4-diisopropylbenzene units
with two trimethylene spacers. Solid-state structures are determined f
or compounds of 3 with dichloromethane and p-xylene guests. The crysta
ls of the two host-guest compounds are isomorphous.
