title: A novel crownophane trapping CO2 as carbonic acid at room temperature.
abstract: A 25 membered crownophane with two hydroxy and two amide groups around the cavity has been reported for the first time to be able to include carbonic acid formed from both carbon dioxide and water molecules to give a stable 1:1 complex at room temperature.
