Supramolecular synthesis of brick wall and honeycomb networks from the T-shaped molecule 5-nitrosalicylic acid
Abstract
The T-geometry of O–H⋯O and C–H⋯O hydrogen bonding groups in the title molecule (5-NSA) form a brick wall network that is modularly expanded and transformed to chair cyclohexane and honeycomb architectures in molecular complexes with trans-1,4-dithiane-1,4-dioxide and dioxane. The variation in hydrogen bond synthons results in different examples of topologically related (6,3) nets.
