The title macrocyclic amino alcohol compound, C(14)H(30)N(4)O, is investigated as a solid-state synthon for the design of a self-assembled tubular structure. It crystallizes in a helical column constructed by stereospecific O-H···N and N-H···N interactions. The hydrogen-bonding interactions, dependent upon macrocyclic ring helicity and molecular conformation, link R,R and S,S enantiomers in a head-to-tail fashion, forming a continuous hydrophilic inner core.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
