“…A characteristic structural feature of this adduct is an unprecedented m 6 -h 2 :h 2 :h 2 :h 2 :h 2 :h 2 coordination of each benzene moiety with the Hg atoms of the neighbouring anticrown units [17]. Other tested arenes such as toluene, xylenes, mesitylene, biphenyl, naphthalene, phenanthrene, fluorene, triphenylene and pyrene [5,6] as well as nonplanar, bowlshaped corannulene and indenocorannulene [18] react with macrocycle 1 in a similar manner giving rise to 1:1 complexes of the analogous, although less symmetrical structure.
