Extended supramolecular organization of π-systems using yet unexplored simultaneous intra- and inter-molecular H-bonding motifs of 1,3-dihydroxy derivatives

Abstract

Unique H-bonding motifs of 1,3-dihydroxyl derivatives involving simultaneous intra- and inter-molecular H-bonding results in extended organization of pendant chromophores with a spatial distance suitable for π–π interaction. A preformed assembly with appended acceptor units exhibits host–guest interaction with specific donors by charge-transfer complex formation.
