Self‐Assembly of Convex and Concave Molecular Tectons to Form a Linear Molecular Array in the Solid State

Abstract

A biconcave molecular module (koiland) was fashioned by the double fusion of two p-allylcalix[4]arenes through two silicon atoms. Koilands and linear molecular connectors self-assemble to form an α-network (koilate) in the solid state (see the schematic representation below).
