X-Ray structure of the 1:1 complex of a tripodal receptor and cis-cyclohexane-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid

Abstract

The X-ray crystal structure of the 1:1 complex of a tripodal abiotic receptor and cis-cyclohexane-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid is reported; the 1:1 complex is devoid of C₃-symmetry and packs into a multi-columnar self-assembly.
