Popis: Self-assembly of ZnI2 with di(isoquinolin-5-yl)isophthalate (L) as a new bidentate N-donor gives rise to discrete crown-shaped M2L2 cyclodimers, 3.5CH3CN·0.7THF@[Zn2I4L2]. These metallacyclodimers are composed of a characteristically eclipsed molecular array, resulting in the formation of unusual 10.0 × 15.1 A2 diameter suprachannels. The suprachannels adsorb/desorb various liquid molecules in a rigid manner, which enables scientists to solve the structures of various liquids. This columnar molecular ensemble is an efficient, tolerant, and reproducible suprachannel matrix for structural determination of general liquid compounds via easy single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) guest exchange without any desolvation process.
