Abstract
Self-assembled heterodimeric molecular capsule based on the charged hydrogen bonding interaction between two different CTV monomers (1 and 2) was developed. The formation of the molecular capsule was confirmed by inclusion phenomena of complementary neutral guests in DMSO-d 6. The encapsulated TMS was released by prolonged heating or pH adjustment. Molecular modeling and intermolecular NOEs suggested the three-dimensional structure of the termolecular inclusion complex.
