Abstract
Cocrystallization of
C-methylcalix[4]resorcinarene
1 with 4-vinylpyridine obtained from MeNO
2 yields a six-component host–guest complex
1·4(4-vinyl-pyridine)·MeNO
2
2 in which the upper rim of
1 is extended supramolecularly by way of four O–H⋯N(pyridine) hydrogen bonds and the included solvent serves as a guest. The pyridine moieties of
2 assemble along the upper rim of
1 as two stacked dimers in which the vinyl substituents of the aromatic adopt a parallel orientation. The X-ray crystal structure of resorcinol·2(4-vinylpyridine)
3 has also been determined and reveals that the vinyl groups of
3 are aligned in an antiparallel fashion. These observations allow us to suggest that
multi-component resorcin[4]arenes which possess vinyl-pyridines as cavity extenders may provide a route to aligning olefinic bonds in the solid state.
