Molecular recognition. Self-assembly of molecular trigonal prisms and their host-guest adducts.
Two supramolecular trigonal prisms, each bearing three molecular clefts are shown to form 1:6 and 1:7 host-guest complexes with 9-methylanthracene and one of the prisms forms a 1:2 host-guest complex with a tritopic tri-anthracene guest that registers with the recognition sites of the host.
