Crystal Engineering Using Bis- and Tris-phenols. Adducts with 1,4,8,11-Tetraazacyclotetradecane (Cyclam): Isolated Ladders in the Adduct with 4,4'-Thiodiphenol, Tethered Ladders in the Adduct with 4,4'-Sulfonyldiphenol and Two Interwoven Three-Dimensional Networks in the Adduct with 1,1,1-Tris(4-...

The study focuses on crystal engineering utilizing bis- and tris-phenolic compounds in combination with 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam). It explores the formation of different structural motifs, such as isolated ladders in adducts with 4,4'-thiodiphenol, tethered ladders in those with 4,4'-sulfonyldiphenol, and two interwoven three-dimensional networks in the adduct with 1,1,1-tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane. Comprehensive analysis of these architectures reveals insights into molecular interactions and structural variability, underscoring the versatility of phenolic compounds in crystal engineering.
