F. Hajek et al., MOLECULAR TECTONICS .1. THE FIRST SYNTHESIS AND X-RAY-ANALYSIS OF A LINEAR KOILATE OBTAINED BY SELF-ASSEMBLY OF LINEAR KOILANDS AND HEXADIYNE, Tetrahedron letters, 37(9), 1996, pp. 1401-1404
The first synthesis and X-ray analysis of a koilate, i.e. a linear arr
ay in the solid state, resulting from an iterative assembling of a koi
land (hollow molecule possessing two divergent cavities based on the d
ouble fusion of two p-tert-butylcalix[4]arenes by two silicon atoms),
and hexadiyne as connector, as well as two binuclear complexes formed
in the solid state between the above mentioned koiland and anisol and
para-xylene is described.
