Packing arrangements of copper-seamed C-alkylpyrogallol[4]arene nanocapsules with varying chain lengths†
Abstract
The syntheses and single-crystal XRD structures of copper-seamed C-alkylpyrogallol[4]arene (PgCnCu, n = 3, 7, 9) hexamers with different tail lengths are reported. Differences in the packing arrangements as a function of tail length are revealed. The progression in the size of the hexamers in the solid state is in agreement with that in the solution phase.
