Supramolecular networks of a H-shaped aromatic phenol host

X-Ray crystal structures of 1,4-di[bis(hydroxyphenyl)methyl]benzene and its solvates and cocrystals were analyzed for the occurrence of network architectures. From the simplest 1D ladder in EtOAc, DMSO and i-PrOH solvates of 1 (R1 = R2/su

Multiple-Bridged Triphenylmethanes

Up to fourfold-bridged macrocyclic compounds bearing triphenylmethane units which form a large molecular cavity were prepared for the first time.The macrobicyclus 4 crystallizes from acetonitrile as 1:1 adduct and from phenylacetonitrile as 1:3 adduct with the respective solvent.The X-ray structures of these complexes are compared with the related 1:5 adduct of 13 with benzene.
