Theses and Dissertations
Assembled pyridyl bis-urea macrocycles have been utilized as 1D supramolecular synthons to construct hierarchical assemblies. These macrocycles have both urea and pyridyl functional groups and can form non-covalent interactions with hydrogen or halogen bond donors through symmetric, ditopic acceptor motifs. Bis-urea macrocycles offer interesting capabilities as synthons to organize donors into well-defined crystal structures. In part, this is due to the urea motifs’ propensity to assemble through hydrogen bonding. New, asymmetric pyridyl macrocycles were synthesized, crystallized, and experimentally probed to determine how symmetry affects their assembly and utility as supramolecular synthons.
