title: Progressive compression of 1,ω-diammonium-alkanes inside a rigid crystalline molecular cage.
abstract: We present herein the compression mechanisms of linear 1,ω-diammonium-alkanes, confined within a molecular cage self-assembled in water. The exact coiling behaviour is determined from atomic resolution X-ray diffraction and shows crenel-like conformations in the compressed states.
