Tris(l,8-naphthalenedioxy)cyclotriphosphazene (III) forms a clathrate inclusion adduct with p-xylene.An X-ray single-crystal study has shown that the p-xylene molecules are physically trapped in a fixed position within channels that penetrate the lattice. The naphthalenedioxy side groups of the host molecules (III) are bent at the oxygen atoms in such a way that strong host-host interactions stabilize the channel structure. The unit cell is triclinic, with space group P\ and with a = 8.206
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.
