Abstract

Reported here are two novel organic crystals, L 1 and L·(DMF)1.5 2 (DMF = (CH3)2NCHO), showing non-porous and microporous structure, where the formations can be precisely controlled by varying the reaction temperature. The reason for this exciting discovery could be directly related to the various degrees of distortion in the organic molecules as observed in 1 and 2, where detailed structural studies were carried out.
