Abstract

Abstract: The tetraldehyde cavitand, C100 H88 O20, was synthesised as the penultimate stage of a procedure to obtain cavitand-capped porphyrins. The complete structural characterisation was performed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, NMR and IR spectroscopy. The inclusion phenomena of the solvent molecules were confirmed using NMR spectroscopy. The structure is the first example of a clathrate having an aromatic tetraldehyde cavitand grown as a single crystal with acetonitrile at the lower rim of the molecule and methanol at the upper rim of the molecule.
