Transformation of a C-methylcalix[4]resorcinarene-based host-guest complex from a wave-like to a novel triangular brick-wall architecture

A novel 2D triangular brick-wall framework based on CMCR and bpe with included ruthenocene guest molecules is formed with time by conversion of a 1D wave-like polymer structure with an accompanying bowl-to-boat conformational change of the CMCR molecules.
