Universality behaviour for polarity formation in channel-type inclusion compounds

Abstract

A statistical investigation based on a Markov chain theory of polarity formation applied to channel-type inclusion compounds loaded with both dipolar A-π -D and non-polar N-π -N (N: A or D) guests is presented. The key parameters effecting polarity formation are identified and their effects are explored. A number of paradoxes are set out and an attempt to explain the mechanisms behind them is made: dependence of macroscopic polarity on orientational selectivity induced by intermolecular interactions, tuning of polarity through (i) the concentration of nonpolar guest and (ii) growth temperature.

Polarity formation by a higher order interaction Markov-like chain

“…4 the dependence of X net on the crystallization temperature is shown. Consistent with previous results for the single layer system [18] a strong dependence on temperature is found offering to optimize net polarity by choosing an appropriate crystallization temperature. Figure 4 also reveals that systems involving higher order interactions show more resistance to the decrease of net polarity due to an increase of temperature.…”
