Self-assembly of chiral hydrogen-bonded grid layers from terephthalic Siamese twins

Abstract

2,2',5,5'-Tetracarboxy- and 2,2', 5,5'-tetracarbamoyl-substituted biphenyls and also the 2,2',3,3',6,6'-hexacarboxy-substituted analogue behave as Siamese twins of terephthalic tectons in the single crystal self-assembly, giving rise to chiral 2D grid
