Inclusion compounds with a sexipedal host. Crystal structures and thermal analysis of inclusion compounds of hexakis(3-hydroxy-3,3-diphenylprop-2-ynyl)benzene with methyl ethyl ketone, diethyl ketone and diethyl ether

Abstract

Inclusion compounds of hexakis(3-hydroxy-3,3-diphenylprop-2-ynyl)benzene with methyl ethyl ketone, diethyl ketone and diethyl ether have been prepared and characterised by single crystal diffraction and thermal analysis. Kinetic parameters and mechanisms for the desolvation reactions have been determined. These have been correlated with structural features.
