Abstract

Co-crystallization of the tetra-iso-butyl-resorcin[4]arene (1) with 1,4-bis-(pyridyl)ethane (bpe) obtained from methanol yields a molecular solid of the multicomponent host–guest complex 1 · 2(bpe) · 0.5MeOH · H2O (2) in which 1 assemblies with water molecules to form a hydrogen-bonded dimer. The bpe ligands in both cis- and trans-stereo configurations exist in the complex 2, of which trans-bpe moieties as guests are encapsulated in the capsules constructed by two pairs of opposition bowls of resorcinarenes.

Graphical Abstract

The 1,4-bis(pyridyl)ethane (bpe) ligands in both cis- and trans-stereo configurations exist in a multicomponent molecular solid, of which trans-bpe moieties as guests are encapsulated in the capsules constructed by two pairs of opposition bowls of resorcinarenes.
