Abstract

Abstract Two recognition motifs are better than one for the noncovalent synthesis of elaborate supramolecular architectures. We have created a range of multiply encircled supermolecules and interwoven arrays such as those on the right, principally using a combination of two different recognition motifs, the threading of dibenzylammonium cations (black bars) through the cavities of macrocyclic polyethers (open quadrilaterals) to form ...
