| Abstract: | Flexible rigidity : Tetralactam macrocycles of the Hunter type bear a rigid scaffold (see space‐filling representation), but can still widely adapt to the properties of a guest molecule inside their cavities. X‐ray crystal structures of a series of differently substituted macrocycles reveal a remarkably broad variety of intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding patterns organizing the macrocycles in the crystals in intriguingly different ways.  |
