title: A Halogen-Bonded Dimeric Resorcinarene Capsule.
abstract: Iodine (I2) acts as a bifunctional halogen-bond donor connecting two macrocyclic molecules of the bowl-shaped halogen-bond acceptor, N-cyclohexyl ammonium resorcinarene chloride 1, to form the dimeric capsule [(1,4-dioxane)3@1(2)(I2)2]. The dimeric capsule is constructed solely through halogen bonds and has a single cavity (V=511 Å(3)) large enough to encapsulate three 1,4-dioxane guest molecules.
