Rational construction of 2D and 3D borromean arrayed organic crystals by hydrogen-bond-directed self-assembly.
Borromean organic networks: The rigid and trigonal pyramidal molecule, 1,3,5-tris(4-carboxyphenyl)adamantane (TCA), self-assembles into a 2D Borromean linked network by hydrogen bonds. Different linkers (methanol, phenazine, 4,4'-bipyridine, and 4,4'-azopyridine) result in more complex Borromean networks or a 3D polycatenation network.
