The self-assembly between C-2-symmetric (methanol)(6) or S-6-symmetric (ethanol)(6) cyclohexamers and paddle-wheel dinuclear copper units leads to unique 1D polymer chains

摘要

The first crystallographic evidences of the theoretically suggested C-2-symmetric cyclohexameric form of liquid methanol and the S-6-symmetric cyclohexameric form of liquid ethanol are reported, trapped inside a hydrophilic pocket shielded by tert-butyl groups.
