H. Kurebayashi et al., Layered donor-acceptor-acceptor arrangement in complex of molecular tweezer based on dioxa[2.2]orthocyclophane, TETRAHEDR L, 41(4), 2000, pp. 477-480
Flexible molecular receptors having three aromatic chromophores can bind el
ectron deficient pi-system such as TCNQ and TCNB with both face-to-face and
face-to-edge interactions. The receptors have tweezer-type conformations w
hen a guest was trapped within their cavities. Sandwich-type donor-acceptor
-acceptor (DAA) arrangement was realized in the crystalline supramolecular
complex. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
