Abstract

A porous structure formed from sheets with cavities and two close packed structures were crystallised from building blocks prepared from 2,4-difluoronitrobenzene, a diamine linker and n-butylamine. The porous structure crystallised from a flexible building block prepared using 1,4-diaminobutane as linker. The close packed structures were prepared using either piperazine or 1,4-bis(aminomethyl)benzene as a linker and have less conformational freedom.

Keywords: crystal engineering; hydrogen bonding; porous; supramolecular assemblies.
