Abstract

Abstract Hexakis (aryloxy) benzenes (I)-(IV), representatives of a new class of molecule, have been prepared by reaction of hexafluorobenzene with the sodium salt of the appropriate phenol in 1, 3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone (DMEU) as solvent. X-ray analyses of parent (I) and of the acetonitrile clathrate of (II) are described, a novel edge-on interaction between host and guest being found in the latter.
