Figure 4
Three turns of an extended hydrogen-bonded helix motif in (IIa), viewed perpendicular to the c axis. This helix propagates along the 41 screw axis, parallel to the crystallographic c axis, and includes only molecules of type A (Fig. 3). The CCl4, CH2ClCH2Cl and CHCl2CHCl2 solvates, viz. (IIb), (IIc) and (IId), respectively, all have essentially the same structural feature. Bonds and atoms involved in the helix are drawn with solid colours. Dashed lines indicate continuation of the helix. |
