Structurally dissimilar clathrates from isomeric spider hosts: octakis(m-tolylthio)naphthalene and its p-tolylthio analogue
Abstract
The title isomeric hosts (1) and (2), adopting different molecular conformations, form distinct types of closed cage accommodating the common guest 1,4-dioxane; it is remarkable that the symmetrical multimolecular cage structure of (1), not consolidated by hydrogen bonding, can exist even in the absence of guest.
