Supramolecular and Host−Guest Chemistry of Bis-phenol and Analogues

Recent developments on structural studies of bis-phenols and related compounds are systematically discussed. The effects of substituents on bis-phenols to control the size and shape of cavities in assemblies of bis-phenols and the weak interactions in anion-assisted assemblies of bis-phenols are narrated to illustrate pseudo-polymorphism. The possible impact of the occurrence of a high Z ‘ value in different polymorphs of bis-phenol and related compounds is presented.
