X-Ray crystallographic investigation of guest orientation and conformation in a clathrate inclusion compound
Abstract
An X-ray crystal structure analysis has unambiguously established the orientation and conformation of the guest molecule 2,5,5-trimethylhex-3-yn-2-ol (II) in the cage of the clathrate host 4-p-hydroxyphenyl-2,2,4-trimethylthiochroman (I).
