• carbon-oxygen bond may decrease by almost one tenth of an Å (Table 6). A fluorine substituent can lead to a change in the preferred molecular conformation. For example, methoxybenzenes without ortho substituents favor a planar conformation. However, Roche researchers by searching trifluoromethoxybenzenes

• isolated centrosymmetric molecules. The molecular conformation together with the atom labeling scheme is shown in Figure 4. The overall conformation of the molecule is ellipsoidal with the approximate dimensions of 6.2 and 15.3 Å. All atoms of the molecule (except hydrogens) are within 2.16 Å of the mean

• height of one sheet corresponds to the height of the macrocycle, i.e. about 12 Å. The molecular conformation of 1-N-Me, atom labeling scheme indicated. Displacement parameters are drawn at 50% probability level. The unit cell of 1-N-Me, stacks of molecules are indicated. Formulas of macrocyclic amines, 1
