Chemical Structure from Scientific Research

Subcomponent self-assembly of pseudo-cubes 2-4 with idealized Th point symmetry, from the reaction of B, C or D65 with 2-formylpyridine and zinc(II) triflimide in acetonitrile. Each structure has an α relative orientation of the six rectangular panels (insets, left), and each face adopts configuration ii (insets, right). Disorder, anions, hydrogen atoms and solvent molecules are omitted from the crystal structures of 2-4 for clarity. C - gray, N - blue, fac-Λ ZnII- purple, fac-Δ ZnII- yellow.
