Abstract

Abstract : A double ouroboros-shaped molecular dimer stabilized via complementary intermolecular contacts was crystallized from a tripodal molecule having the ability to adopt conformation similar to molecular tweezers at one end and a lone unit at the other. Abstract : A double ouroboros-shaped molecular dimer was crystallized from a tripodal molecule having the ability to adopt conformation similar to molecular tweezers at one end and a lone unit at the other. Two complementary tripodal molecules self-organize into a dimer like two serpents biting each other's tails in a circular fashion.
