Abstract
The inclusion properties of the first helical tubuland diol hosts 1–5 have been surveyed and are reported. Bicyclic diol 1 forms helical tubulate inclusion compounds with most small solvent molecules, but with certain phenols hydrogen bonded co-crystalline materials are produced instead. Diol 2 yields helical tubulates with larger guest molecules, but if smaller solvents are used then an alternative host system is obtained. This has the guests trapped in ellipsoidal cavities located along constricted canals and is termed the ellipsoidal clathrate type. In some cases both inclusion types can be produced from 2 by varying the experimental conditions. The free volume present in the helical tubuland lattices of 3 and 5 is insufficient for guest inclusion. Diol 4 has the largest void space and can form inclusion compounds with large molecules such as ferrocene and squalene. X-ray crystal structures of representative examples of these compounds are discussed.Keywords
