Abstract

Racemic 2,2′-dihydroxy-1,1′-binaphthyl and 10,10′-dihydroxy-9,9′-biphenanthryl have been resolved effectively by crystalline complexation with commercially available N-alkylcinchonidium halides. The resolved complexes were studied by X-ray diffraction methods in order to characterize the intermolecular interaction and recognition schemes. The results indicate the significance of directional hydrogen bonding and aryl-aryl interaction modes in the molecular recognition process.
