Abstract

The physical and chemical properties of a molecular solid depend directly upon the relative orientations and spacings of the constituent molecules. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to control molecular orientation and spacing in a crystal. Many groups,'including our own,* have tried to approach the problem by combining methods of traditional molecular synthesis with the techniques of supramolecular~ ynthesis.~ In previous studies2 we have used ...
