Figure 3
The asymmetric unit of chloroform solvate (IIa), showing the atom-numbering scheme and the dimerization of the host molecules via hydrogen bonding (dashed lines). Displacement ellipsoids are drawn at the 50% probability level and H atoms are shown as small spheres of arbitrary radii. The chloroform guest molecule sits on a site of symmetry and is thus extensively disordered. The structures of the CCl4, CH2ClCH2Cl and CHCl2CHCl2 solvates, viz. (IIb), (IIc) and (IId), respectively, are ostensibly the same, but the guest solvents in (IIc) and (IId) were too badly disordered to model. |
