Figure 4
An illustration of how mol­ecules of the `light' net form, on the one hand, their own helices and at the same time, owing to inter­action between cyano groups, promote the formation of the `dark' helices. As a first approximation, the structure could be represented as follows: atom N1ix (dark) inter­acts with atom C4x (light) in the mol­ecule with symmetry code (x), which forms the six-mol­ecule building block (see Fig. 2[link]) through atoms N2x and H1x; thereby the `light' mol­ecule net is assembled within the `dark' net. Inside the `dark' helix, `light' atoms N1xiii and N1xi inter­act with `dark' atoms C4xvii and C4xvi, respectively, as well as with C4xiii from the `light' net. Concurrently, the mol­ecule at (x), through atoms N3x and H2x, forms two `light' helices with opposite handedness in which `dark' mol­ecules are embedded. [Symmetry codes: (i) −[{1\over 2}] + x, −y, 1 + z; (ii) −[{1\over 2}] + x, −1 − y, 1 + z; (iii) x, −1 + y, 1 + z; (iv) [{3\over 2}] − x, y, [{1\over 2}] + z; (v) 1 − x, −y, [{1\over 2}] + z; (vi) [{1\over 2}] − x, y, [{1\over 2}] + z; (vii) −1 + x, −1 + y, 1 + z; (viii) x, y, 1 + z; (ix) 1 − x, −1 − y, [{1\over 2}] + z.]
