title: Shape-persistent macrocycle with a self-complementary recognition pattern based on diacetylene-linked alternating hexylbenzene and perfluorobenzene rings.
abstract: The synthesis and characterization of a shape-persistent macrocycle, consisting of alternating electron rich and electron poor sub-units as a self-complementary recognition pattern, is reported, and its increased tendency to form dimer complexes in solution is demonstrated and discussed.
