In this study, we investigated the interaction of a fully substituted cyclopentano cucurbit[6]uril (CyP6Q[6]) with alkaline earth cations (AE2+) and corresponding supramolecular assemblies in the presence of tetrachloridozincate anions ([Zn(H2O)Cl3]− or [ZnCl4]2−). Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis revealed that the CyP6Q[6]−Mg2+−ZnCl2−HCl interaction system yielded an adduct of [Mg(H2O)6]2+ with CyP6Q[6]. The CyP6Q[6]−Ca2+, Sr2+ and Ba2+−ZnCl2−HCl interaction systems yielded linear AE2+/CyP6Q[6]/AE2+‐type coordination polymers that filled the cells in the [ZnCl4]2−‐based honeycomb‐like framework. Unlike unsubstituted Q[n] systems in which [ZnCl4]2− anions surround Q[n] molecules via outer surface interaction of Q[n], electrostatic interactions between [ZnCl4]2− anions and the coordinated AE2+ cations results in the formation of [ZnCl4]2−‐based honeycomb‐like frameworks.
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.
