Abstract

The shallow cavity of resorcarene is extended at the wide rim by a cyclic hydrogen-bonded array of four halide ions and four ammonium groups. Depending on the anion (chloride, bromide) these structures are capable of complexing certain alcohols by the formation of hydrogen bonds and inclusion into the π-basic cavity of the resorcarene (see picture).
