Figure 2 Hexameric Capsules and Their Dimensions Size comparison of the structures of hexamers 2 (middle) and 3 (bottom) geometry optimized with SPARTAN16 (MM-level, tosylates omitted for clarity) and the X-ray structure of the H-bonded pyrogallarene hexamer (CCDC: CANQAJ41) by Mattay8 (top). The structures are presented on the same scale; the cavity of CANQAJ with a volume of 1,332 Å3 is shown in gray and was calculated with a 1.2 Å probe (MSRoll42 and X-Seed43,44).
