Designed bilayer structure : The formation of a bilayer structure is reported, in which two guest molecules are contained within each local segment of tunnel within a layered urea host structure (one layer of which is shown in the picture). One novel feature of this structure is a locally empty region within the urea host tunnel, which arises from a significant van der Waals “gap” between adjacent guest molecules within the bilayer.
