description

An eightfold functionalized D2d-symmetric 9,9' spirobifluorene was condensed with a collection of diketones with elaborated structural features to form three-dimensional supramolecular architectures with active surfaces. Gas sorption measurements by quartz crystal microbalances revealed remarkable indications about the molecular interactions for the application as affinity materials for the detection of volatile organic compounds. Single-crystal X-ray structure analysis further gave insight by packing motifs and for potential host-guest interactions.
