title: Host-guest complexation of pillar[6]arenes towards neutral nitrile guests.
abstract: The selective binding behavior of a series of nitrile derivatives by ethylated pillar[6]arene (EtP6A) is described. This work represents the first example of complexation of neutral guests by pillar[6]arenes, although those for pillar[5]arenes have been well documented.
