title: Self-assembly of 1:2 inclusion complexes between a metallocycle host and dihydroxyaromatic guests: a redox controlled complexation process.
abstract: Two new 1:2 inclusion complexes were prepared by self-assembly of three components: a ligand based on 4,4'-bipyridinium, a square-planar Pd complex, and a dihydroxyaromatic guest (hydroquinone or 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene) in a 2:2:2 ratio. Their X-ray structural analyses revealed that the complexes are stabilized by pi-pi stacking and [C-H...pi] interactions.
