Self-association based on orthogonal COCO interactions in the solid and liquid state

Christoph Fäh, Leo A. Hardegger, Marc-Olivier Ebert, W. Bernd Schweizer and François Diederich

A network of orthogonal COCO interactions was identified in the X-ray crystal structure of an ,-difluorocyclopentanone derivative. This finding inspired investigations of self-association driven by these weak dipolar interactions in apolar solvents, which was proven by 1H NMR spectroscopy.
