Covalent Organic Capsules and Organic Coord Polymers

Question 1

structure and formation

Answer 1

guest molecules act as templates through hydrophobic effect, can orient two host molecules around itself giving protected environment for guest species, can stabilise reactive species therefore controlling reactions

Question 2

Carceplex

Answer 2

host-guest complex of carcerand, guest cant be removed without breaking bonds

Question 3

hemi-carceplex

Answer 3

hemicarceplex has longer linkers between host molecules, guest can enter and be removed without breaking bonds

Question 4

crystal engineering

Answer 4

predicted design and synthesis of crystalline solids

Question 5

coordination polymers

Answer 5

infinite array of metal ions connected by bridging ligands
