Abstract
A quarter of the unit cell volume of [{Ni(4,4'-dipy)(3-nitrobenzoate)2 (MeOH)2 }n ], which crystallizes in the form of helices, is occupied by large chiral cavities (400-500 Å3 ). The cavities are capable of encapsulating not only single molecules, but also face-to-face dimers of nitrobenzene (see stick model). 4,4'-dipy=4,4'-bipyridine. © 1999 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH, Weinheim, Fed.
