Abstract: | Inclusion compounds were formed between the host cyclotriveratrylene, H, (2,3,7,8,12,13-hexamethoxy-5,10-dihydro-15H-tribenzoa,d,g]cyclononene) and the guests carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloropropane and 1,1,2-trichloroethane. 1 (H·CCl4) has guest molecules in channels alternating with channels of host molecules. 2 (H·C2H3Cl3·C3H5Cl3) and 3 (H·2C2H3Cl3) exhibit a slightly different packing arrangement with one guest molecule in the host cavity and the rest of the guest molecules in channels. The stability and reactivity of these inclusion compounds were investigated. |
