| Abstract: | Cyclotriveratrylene (CTV) derived host molecules with ethyl, propyl, allyl or propargyl functional groups have been synthesised using standard or solventless reaction methodologies. The known structural and clathrate chemistry of cyclotriveratrylene (CTV) and these analogues has been extended. Crystal structures of the hexa(ethyl), tri(ethyl), tri(propargyl) analogues have been determined, and show either intra-cavity host-guest binding or self-stacking motifs. Two new clathrates of CTV have also been structurally characterised, namely CTV.(DMSO)2.(H2O)2 with intra-cavity complexation of DMSO, and CTV.(EtOH)0.25 which has a γ-phase CTV structure. |
