9. According to E. L. Eliel8, no organic molecules of D4 symmetry have yet been synthesised. Also, to our best knowledge, no hydrogen-bond-organised substructure of D4 symmetry has been found in any previously known crystal structure.
10. Two pertinent examples of chiral “square” grids based on homochiral 2,2′,6,6′-tetra- substituted biaryls have been already reported; refs6,7.
11. However, “sticking” substituents are not conditio sine qua non; one case of an unsupported eclipsed stacking of a homochiral 2,2′,6,6′-tetrasubstituted biaryl has been already reported, giving rise to set-up of chiral columns from the hydrogen-bonded cyclotetrameric “squares”; ref.7.
