Helical canal inclusion complexes formed by a bicyclic diol; X-ray crystal structure of exo-2, exo-6-dihydroxy-2,6-dimethylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonane–ethyl acetate inclusion complex
Abstract
An X-ray crystal structure determination shows that, as a consequence of helices of hydrogen bonds, crystalline exo-2,exo-6-dihydroxy-2,6-dimethylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonane comprises a network of separate helical canals, lined only with hydrocarbon hydrogen atoms, which trap a variety of guest molecules.
