TY - JOUR TI - AN INFINITE HYDROGEN-BONDED MOLECULAR ASSEMBLY BASED ON CATECHOL AND A BIFUNCTIONAL OLEFIN AU - Giannis S Papaefstathiou AU - Tomislav Friscic AU - Leonard R MacGillivray JO - ACA Transactions PY - 2004 VL - 39 TODO - - SP - 110-113 PB - american crystallographic association SN - null TODO - null TODO - linear templates, photodimerization TODO - Catechol (cat) and trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (4,4’-bpe) form a 1:1 co-crystal, of composition (cat)·(4,4’-bpe) 1, that consists of infinite one-dimensional (1D) undulating chains held together by O-H···N hydrogen bonds. The chains are based on an alternating sequence of five crystallographically independent molecules, two that involve cat and three that involve 4,4’-bpe, and an eight-component repeat unit. The cat molecules adopt an anti-anti conformation, while the olefins adopt either a co-planar or twisted conformation. The chains self-assemble via a combination of face-to-face π-π interactions, C-H···π forces, and C-H···O hydrogen bonds. ER -
