Dianin's compound has been extensively studied for its ability to form these with a variety of organic molecules.
Dianin's compound has been extensively studied for its ability to form these with a variety of organic molecules. They are readily formed in systems involving a cyclic oligomer such as a cyclodextrin. Molecules that can form hydrogen bond networks, such as urea and water, can readily form these. The most important example may be the type formed by systems of hydrogen-bonded water molecules to enclose methane gas, deposits of which trap an estimated trillion tons of carbon on the ocean floor. For ten points, name these supramolecular structures formed when a lattice or cage of one type of molecule traps another type of molecule.
