Crystallization Processes through Self-assembled Materials Dependent on the Substituents of Tetrapodal Adamantanes
Three tetrapodal tetraaryladamantanes bearing imidazole derivatives exhibit unique self-assembly and crystallization behaviors, including hollow spherical aggregation, a morphological change by fusion events, and phase transition into crystals. In crystals, the packing and arrangements of tetrapodal adamantanes are subject to the substituents of imidazole derivatives in the molecules.
