title: A perfect linear Cu-NNN-Cu unit inside the cryptand cavity and perchlorate entrapment within the channel formed by the cascade complex.
abstract: Dicopper complexes of bis-tren cryptand L1 having 1,4-xylyl spacers, becoming a potential receptor for perfect linear recognition of N3-, generate a Cu-NNN-Cu unit inside the cryptand cavity. Solid-state packing of this cascade complex shows the formation of a thorough channel which encapsulate perchlorate anion within the channel.
