title: Superbowl container molecules.
abstract: The design, chemical synthesis, guest binding, and self-assembly of tureen-shaped container molecules is presented. With a large noncollapsible interior and five external binding sites, each superbowl container host is shown to bind up to nine guest molecules in well-defined locations.
