Supramolecular architectures based on the carboxylic acid dimer synthon

1 Supramolecular architectures based on the carboxylic acid dimer synthon 

Polar sheet formed by 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid and 4-aminobenzoic acid using the nitro-amine and carboxylic acid dimer motif. 

If a bulky hydrophobic group is introduced at the 5-position of isophthalic acid, a cyclic hexamer (rosette) is generated. In the crystal structure of trimesic acid, the voids are filled through interpenetration of two honeycomb
