Coordination molecular hats binding acetonitrile via C-H...pi interactions.
The [M(3)L(3)](3+) metallo-macrocycles with syn, syn, syn conformation, self-assembled from crown ether functionalized 1,10-phenanthroline Pd(II) nitrates with naphthanoimidazole, bind a solvent CH(3)CN within the naphthanoimidazolate-built cavity through C-H...pi interactions in the crystalline state.
