[Cu(C24H22N4O3)]center dot CH2Cl2: A discrete breathing metallamacrocycle showing selective and reversible guest adsorption with retention of single crystallinity
A discrete, breathing metallamacrocycle Cu2L2 exhibits reversible and selective size-, shape-, and number-dependent guest adsorption with retention of single crystallinity. The system can exclusively recognize CHCl3 molecules from mixed CH2Cl2/CHCl3 vapor.
