Control of Assembly of Dihydropyridyl and Pyridyl Molecules via Directed Hydrogen Bonding.

ABSTRACT: The crystallization of two dihydropyridyl molecules, 1,4-bis(4-(3,5-dicyano-2,6-dipyridyl)dihydropyridyl)benzene ([C₄₀H₂₄N₁₀]·2DMF, 1·2DMF; DMF = dimethylformamide) and 1,4-bis(4-(3,5-dicyano-2,6-dipyridyl)dihydropyridyl)phenylbenzene ([C₄₆H₂₈N₁₀]·2DMF, 3·2DMF), and their respective oxidized pyridyl analogues, 1,4-bis(4-(3,5-dicyano-2,6-dipyridyl)pyridyl)benzene ([C₄₀H₂₀N₁₀], 2) and 1,4-bis(4-(3,5-dicyano-2,6-dipyridyl)pyridyl)phenylbenzene ([C₄₆H₂₄N₁₀]·DMF, 4·DMF), has been achieved under solvothermal conditions. The dihydropyridyl molecules are converted to their pyridyl products via in situ oxidative dehydrogenation in solution.
