Figure 2
Symbolic presentation of the close-packing pattern with heterochiral chains in a parallel array. The alicyclic rings are omitted. The black and white triangles differentiate the enantiomers, while the points (two) represent the OH groups and the small circle denotes the CO moiety. Two white and two black triangles in a diagonal array, generated by a glide plane n, produce the antidromic R44(18) rings. The possible stacking modes of such a layer: (a), (b) and (c) are shown in Fig. 3. |
