A C2‐symmetrical tetrakis(arylethynyl) cavitand was synthesized. Spontaneous formation of hybrid hydrogen bonded/metal‐ligand coordination supramolecular capsules occurs upon mixing 1 with cis‐coordinated Pt2+ or Pd2+ metal complexes. The hybrid supramolecular capsules encapsulated neutral guest molecules only in polar solvents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
