title: Complexation between pentiptycene-based mono(crown ether)s and tetracationic cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene): who is the host or the guest?
abstract: Pentiptycene-based mono(crown ether)s and tetracationic cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) can form 1 : 1 stable complexes in solution and in the solid state, in which both of the components act as the host as well as the guest.
