The structures of three ortho-alkoxyphenylboronic acids (2-methoxy-, 2-ethoxy-, 2-isobutoxy-), and three diortho-alkoxyphenylboronic acids (2,6-dimethoxy-, 2,6-diethoxy- and 2-isobutoxy-6-methoxy) were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The study was undertaken with the intention of designing a novel boronic acid having a monomeric structure, which to date has been an unavailable building block for crystal engineering. This motif can be enhanced by involving two hydroxyl groups at the boron atom in intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Although monosubstituted systems form typical dimers in the crystal lattice, disubstituted species reveal a much bigger variety of possible interactions. Among the analyzed compounds, 2,6-dimethoxyphenylboronic acid and 2,6-diethoxyphenylboronic acid crystallize in two polymorphic forms each. The unprecedented packing with monomers as the dominant structural motif has been found in the crystal structure of 2-isobutoxy-6-methoxyphenylboronic acid and one of the polymorphs of both 2,6-dimethoxyphenylboronic acid and 2,6-diethoxyphenylboronic acid. This description of the molecular packing is also supported by the analysis of fingerprint 2-D plots based on the Hirshfeld surfaces. The variety of possible types of interactions either within a single moiety or between moieties in dimers were additionally analyzed on the basis of the interaction energies, which have been estimated by ab initio calculations at the MP2/6-31+G* and B3LYP/6-311+G** level of theory.

Recently, a tetraphenyladamantane octamethylether was shown to encapsulate a wide range of small molecules in its crystals. Uptake and release from the liquid phase were demonstrated, and crystalline inclusion complexes were prepared that act as formulation for obnoxious reagents. However, fewer than two equivalents of guest molecules were found within the crystal structures. Here we report the synthesis of 1,3,5,7-tetrakis(2,4-diethoxyphenyl)adamantane (TEO) and twelve X-ray crystal structures that contain up to 3.5 equivalents of guest molecules. After crystallization and drying, TEO gives a material that absorbs 30 wt % of p-xylene reversibly through the gas phase, and releases it again at 55 °C, suggesting that it may be used for the capture and release of aromatic hydrocarbons.
