Supramolecular isomerism, single-crystal to single-crystal transformation induced by release of in situ generated I2 between two supramolecular frameworks†
Abstract
Two supramolecular isomers, [H2tpim·H4betc]·I (1) and [H2tpim·H4betc]·I3·2H2O (2), have been synthesized by one-pot reactions. Single-crystal to single-crystal transformations are observed between the two supramolecular isomers which are induced by release of in situ generated I2.
