Triazine based eccentric Piedfort units towards a single source hydrogen bonded network

Abstract

Herein we report a hydrogen-bonded three-dimensional network originating from a single source precursor, sym-triisopropylaminotriazine, that is both a donor and an acceptor of hydrogen bonds. The C_3h symmetric design allowed the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds leading to helices in all three directions. The eccentric Piedfort units present in the framework with a distance of 8.15 Å between the two triazine rings allowed the CHCl₃ guest to be parked.
