We describe an approach to regular triangular arrays of dipolar molecular rotors based on insertion of dipolar rotator carrying shafts as guests into channels of a host, tris(o-phenylenedioxy)cyclotriphosphazene (TPP). The rotor guests can either enter the bulk of the host or stay at or near the surface, if a suitable stopper is installed at the end of the shaft. Differential scanning calorimetry, solid-state NMR, and powder Xray diffraction were used to examine the insertion of a dipolar rotor synthesized for the purpose, 1-n-hexadecyl-12-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-p-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane, and it was found that it forms a surface inclusion compound. Rotational barriers from 1.2 to 9 kcal/mol were found by dielectric spectroscopy and were attributed to rotors inserted into the surface to different degrees, some rubbing the surface as they turn.
