Mw. Hosseini et al., MOLECULAR TECTONICS .2. SYNTHESIS OF MOLECULAR SHEETS BY SELF-ASSEMBLY OF COMPLEMENTARY MOLECULAR UNITS IN THE SOLID-STATE, Tetrahedron letters, 37(9), 1996, pp. 1405-1408
Using both directional hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions
, the self assembly of diprotonated 1,2-Bis(2'-tetrahydropyrimidyl)eth
ane 1-2H(+) with dihydrogenopyrophosphate in the solid state leads to
infinite discreet sheets composed of 1-2H(+) and dihydrogenopyrophosph
ate ribbons interconnected through H2P2O72- anions by hydrogen bonds.
