Figure 2

(A) Molecular structures of receptors 1–3.

(B) Single crystal X-ray structure of the complex [F2(H2O)6]2−⊂ 12.

(C) Single crystal X-ray structure of the complex [F2(H2O)6]2−⊂ 22.

(D) Single crystal X-ray structure of the complex Cl2(H2O)4]2−⊂ 22.

(E) Single crystal X-ray structure of the complex [(NO3)2]2−⊂ 22.

(F) Single crystal X-ray structure of the complex [(AcO)2(H2O)4]2−⊂ 22.

All anionic substrates encapsulated within the cavities of the dimeric capsules are shown in space-filling form. Color code: C = gray, N = blue, O = red, F = chartreuse yellow, Cl = green. The counter cations and solvent molecules outside the cavities are not shown.
