Inclusion by a fluorenyl host with volatile guests: structures, thermal stability and kinetics.
The structures of the inclusion compounds formed by the host H = 9,9'-(biphenyl-4,4'-diyl)bis(fluoren-9-ol) with N,N-dimethylacetamide (H.2DMA and H.4DMA), 1,4-dioxane (H.3DIOX), methyl ethyl ketone (H.2MEK), as well as that of the apohost have been elucidated. The compounds were characterised by thermal analysis and solid state NMR, and the kinetics of desorption of H.4DMA, H.2DMA and H.3DIOX have been examined.
