Abstract

Supramolcular nanotubes in a single crystal were produced from halogenated macrocycles by balancing hydrogen bonds and halogen interactions. A new iodinated macrocycle was prepared, crystallized, and a bonding analysis was performed to evaluate the nature and strength of the involved type I I…I interactions and C=O…I halogen bonds.
