Dreifach‐Diamantstruktur von. 2,6‐Dioxoadamantan‐1,3,5,7‐tetracarbonsäure (Hydrat) als Wirtsgitter für Essigsäure

Triple‐Diamond Structure of 2,6‐Dioxoadamantane‐1,3,5,7‐tetracarboxylic Acid (Hydrate) as Host Lattice for Acetic Acid A novel solid‐state channel‐inclusion compound characterized by X‐ray methods is based on three interpenetrating, translationally equivalent super‐diamond network as host structure and AcOH as guest. The diamondoid host network are fromed by the 2,6‐dioxoadamantane‐1,3,5,7‐tetracarboxylic acid tied together via pairwise H‐bonds. The channels embedding the AcOH molecules may be viewed as symmetric triple helices winding about the guest species. Prospects regarding design and potentialities of diamondoid inclusion compounds are exemplified and appear promising.
