title: Novel binding regioselectivity in the interpenetration of a non-symmetric axle into a non-symmetric pillar[5]arene wheel.
abstract: We describe the regioselective complexation of a non-symmetric 5-bromovaleronitrile axle by a non-symmetric pillar[5]arene bearing different alkyl (methyl and pentyl) rims, forming an oriented interpenetrated complex with the directionality of CN@methyl rim and Br@pentyl rim.
