Abstract

Cyclotriveratrylene is a rigid bowl-shaped host molecule that can be used as a 3-connecting crystal engineering tecton by virtue of its tris-dimethoxy arrangement which may act as hydrogen bond acceptors, or chelating ligand sites. Network structures of unusual topology have resulted, and a number of common structural types are emerging. The tetragonal structure of [Fe(H2O)6]{(CH3CN)(CTV)}4(H2O)4[Co(C2B9H11)2]2 has been determined and features an unusual 3,12-connected 3D hydrogen bonded network structure, with the [Fe(H2O)6]2+ complex cation disordering to achieve the required geometry for the network. The structure of [Ag(CTV)2(H2O)3(CH3CN)2](CB11H12) has been determined and likewise conforms to a key structural type, and shows novel coordination of CTV to Ag+ centres.
