Recebido em 30/01/2019; aceito em 18/03/2019; publicado na web em 17/04/2019 A novel [Fe II 2 L 3 ] 4+ metallo-organic helicate results from subcomponent self-assembly of a C 3-symmetric triamine (4,4',4''-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl) trianiline), octahedral iron(II) and 2-formyl pyridine in CH 3 CN solution. The constitution of this supramolecular helicate was confirmed by ESI-MS and 1 H NMR spectra. Different planar aromatic guests were selected to investigate host-guest interactions by shifts of 1 H NMR signals. The results show that electron-rich aromatic molecules with matched size and symmetry, such as pyrene, are subject to be bound with the outstretched arms of the helicate ligand via aromatic π-π interactions.
