(res) la, 2(4,4’-bipyeth).2(4-Cl-res) 1b, and 2(4,4’-bipyeth).2(4,6-di-Cl-res) is with components held together by 0-H . . .N hydrogen bonds. In 1a the components form an infinite 1D polar array, whereas in 1b and is the components form OD four-component complexes. Formation of the discrete assemblies is attributed to peripheral steric effects, which block the solid-state polymerization. ER -
