Abstract

Glycoluril derivative--whose bulky Ph-C[triple bond]C- substituents prevent formation of H-bonded tapes--undergoes solvent dependent assembly in the crystal; a tetrameric molecular bowl is formed by R(24) H-bonding interactions from CH(2)Cl(2) whereas DMF results in H-bond dimerization followed by oligomerization via C-H...pi interactions.
