“…89 Other dipeptides crystallise with much larger channels, for example, those of L-phenylalanyl-L-phenylalanine are $10 A in diameter, but these have not been shown to possess permanent porosity to date. 123 Other nanoporous molecular crystals with 1-dimensional channels include the unsolvated crystals derived from the natural product 2,2 0 -bis-(formyl-1,6,7-trihydroxy-5-isopropyl-3-methylnaphthalene (Gossypol) 9, which has been shown to adsorb gases (CO 2 ) 93 and vapours (e.g., I 2 and NH 3 ); 92,127 2,4,6-tris(4-bromophenoxy)1,3-triazine (BrPOT) 10, which contains large channels (diameter ¼ 12 A) and adsorbs N 2 at 77 K, although the isotherm has a non-conventional appearance; 95,96 and the 1-D channel-containing inclusion compounds formed by the muchstudied host, 2,6-dimethylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-exo-2,exo-6diol, 128 which shows convincing evidence of stability when unsolvated, however, this has not been confirmed by gas adsorption. 129 A number of macrocycles align within crystals to give NMCs with 1-D channels, sometimes termed 'supramolecular nanotubes'.…”
