Nodal equivalence of (O–H)6 and aromatic rings: a supramolecular cousin of Dianin's compound and β-hydroquinone1,2
Abstract
The simple dialcohol endo-4,endo-8-dimethylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-endo-2,endo-6-diol 2 yields , in which the disordered guest molecule occupies a spherical cage enclosed by eight (O–H)6 cycles positioned at the corners of a cube. Comparison of this structure with the inclusion crystals formed by Dianin's compound 1, and the β-form of
