title: Molecular recognition. Electrostatic effects in supramolecular self-assembly.
abstract: A di-positively charged metal-based receptor is shown to form 1:1 or 2:1 association complexes with rigid, linear two-site guests depending on the site separation, suggesting that electrostatic repulsion controls the association nuclearity.
