Nanotubular non-covalent macrocycle within non-covalent macrocycle assembly: (MeOH)(12) encapsulated in a molecular clip cyclododecamer

Chem Commun (Camb). 2010 Jul 7;46(25):4508-10. doi: 10.1039/c0cc00677g. Epub 2010 May 19.

Abstract

A noncovalent macrocycle-within-noncovalent macrocycle assembly is formed from twelve molecules of (+/-)-1 and twelve molecules of MeOH in the solid state. The H-bonded (MeOH)(12) cyclododecamer assumes a crown-shaped geometry that has not previously been predicted theoretically or found experimentally.
