Abstract

A series of organic macrocycles composed of a systematically varied combination of ethano, propano, benzeno, pyridino, and analogous groups, mainly ether-linked (see Chart I), are reported, and their abilities to function as solid-state inclusion hosts are studied. It is found that 3-5, 11-13, 18b, and 21 form crystalline inclusion compounds with a number of low- molecular-weight alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, 1-and 2-propanol, 1-butanol, ...
