SYMMETRICAL TRIS(4,6-DIAMINO-5-METHYLENE-2-PYRIMIDONES) - NEW BUILDING-BLOCKS FOR SELF-ASSEMBLY OF HOLLOW SPHERICAL SUPRAMOLECULES LOCKED BY HYDROGEN-BONDS
D. Alexander et al., SYMMETRICAL TRIS(4,6-DIAMINO-5-METHYLENE-2-PYRIMIDONES) - NEW BUILDING-BLOCKS FOR SELF-ASSEMBLY OF HOLLOW SPHERICAL SUPRAMOLECULES LOCKED BY HYDROGEN-BONDS, Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 61(10), 1996, pp. 1464-1472
Concise synthesis of the tris(pyrimidones) 1a,b is described. Molecula
r modeling study demonstrated that both the prepared models 1a,b ale c
apable of self-assembling under formation of spherical dimers locked b
y 18 hydrogen bonds. Extreme insolubility in ail common solvents precl
uded investigation of the self-assembly in solution. Circumstantial ev
idence in favor of the self-assembly has been provided in the solid an
d gas phase.
