Supramolecular organic frameworks of cucurbit[n]uril-based [2]pseudorotaxanes in the crystalline state†
Abstract
Three novel supramolecular organic frameworks (SOFs) were constructed from cucurbit[n]uril-based [2]pseudorotaxanes by orthogonal and/or parallel π–π interactions between 4,4′-bipyridin-1-ium units. In the crystal structure, [2]pseudorotaxane (CB[6]·1) formed an interwoven Chinese knot-like framework with high thermal stability.
