4′,4′′,5′,5′′-Tetranitro-2,3:11,12-dibenzo- 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadeca-2,11-diene acetonitrile solvate monohydrate

Abstract

The structure of the title compound, C20H20N4O14·H2O·CH3CN, dimerizes in the solid state to form an open‐ended box which holds two H2O and two CH3CN mol­ecules.

Organogels Derived from Tetranitrated Crown Ethers

“…In conclusion, we have reported the novel gelation ability of two electron-deficient crown ethers at low wt % of chlorinated solvent. More studies aimed at elucidating the supramolecular structure of the gel and its stability for application are underway . The thermotropic behavior of the gel may find uses as a component of a temperature indicator, for example, in heat-sensitive packaging applications.…”
