Abstract:
A series of crystalline host compounds, which have a bicyclo2.2.1]heptene-7-one system, has been synthesized and their inclusion behavior has been investigated. The cycloadduct of phencyclone and N-naphthylmaleimide forms a 1:1 crystalline inclusion complex with 2-butanone. The crystal structure indicates the presence of weak lattice forces supported by C---H···π and C---H···O interactions.
