Summary
Well-shaped single crystals of the [2]-[azacyclohexacosane]-[cyclooctacosane]-catenane were crystallized from butyl acetate solution. Investigating monocrystals with X-rays, we have found a tetragonal symmetry: a = b =10.48 Å, c = 52.15 Å; four molecules per unit cell; space lattice type 141. The scattering intensities of the crystals had been extremely weak at higher theta values. We tried to calculate the structure with only 253 reflections and therefore the refinements (full matrix) converged to R = 0.15.
