The pyrogallol [4]arenes have been shown to act as versatile host macrocycles for a wide variety of guest molecules, including the imidazolium-based cations of ionic liquids. This report demonstrates the use of alkyl-linked geminal dications in the design of bilayers comprising dimeric host−guest complexes. The pivotal role of solvent choice in controlling the resultant solid-state structure is particularly highlighted. The synthesis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction structures of two dimeric host−guest cocrystals generated by the use of different solvents while employing identical host and guest species are presented to illustrate this point. In one solvent, a "Pac-man"-type dimeric host−guest complex is assembled into bilayer galleries. With a switch to an alternate crystallization solvent, a bilayer-type structure in which each layer is composed of alternating complexes of a capsule and two "offset dimers" is instead constructed.
