Abstract

Novel tetranaphthalide host compounds 3 and 4 bearing isomeric naphthalene moieties have been synthesized and their inclusion properties were investigated. These host compounds enclathrated several kinds of ketones, cyclic ethers, amides, sulfoxides and aromatic compounds. The structures of two representative inclusion compounds containing different host molecules and a common guest (dimethyl sulfoxide) were investigated by X-ray diffraction to determine the nature of guest inclusion and to rationalize their distinctly different thermal decomposition profiles.
