A novel molecular channel with a hydrogen bond ‘hook’; inclusion phenomena of cholanamide and the crystal structure of a 1:1 complex of cholanamide and 1,4-dioxane

Abstract

A new host, Cholanamide (CAM), is described; CAM forms lattice inclusion compounds with a variety of organic substances, particularly hydrogen bond acceptors, which are trapped in channels by hydrogen bonding to the amide nitrogen.
