Ladder type supramolecular assembly and gas adsorption profile under reduced pressure based on hydrogen bonded m-tetraphenyl derivative of anthracene

We report a guest adduct X-ray structures and gas adsorption capability of 9,10-bis(4″,4-dihydroxyl-m-terphen-5″-yl)anthracene, which is an analogue of anthracene-bis(resorcinol) derivative reported by Aoyama et al. The gas adsorption capability is double scale of guest inclusion than that of anthracene-bis(resorcinol) derivative.
