Structure determination of tweezer-shaped π-extended tetraphenylenes by microcrystal electron diffraction
Abstract The structure determination of large π-conjugated molecules using microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED) was demonstrated. The poorly soluble solids of the tweezer-shaped molecules were subjected directly from the reaction vessel to MicroED to determine their structures and packing modes. This work validated the efficiency of MicroED in determining the structures of such compounds.
