Chiral Spherical Molecule Constructed from Aromatic Amides: Facile Synthesis and Highly Ordered Network Structure in the Crystal

A novel chiral spherical molecule composed of aromatic amide was synthesized in short steps. The molecule is constructed from four benzene rings connected by six amide bonds and has multiple functionalizable points and an asymmetric structure. The racemic spherical molecule constructed channel network structures in the crystalline state.
