(A) Molecular structure of 53.
(B) Sideview of the crystal structure of the complex [Cl2]2−⊂ 53.
(C) Top view of the crystal structure of the complex [Cl2]2−⊂ 53.
All anions encapsulated within the cavity are shown in space-filling form. Color code: C = gray, N = blue, O = red, and Cl = green. The counter cations and solvent molecules outside the cavities are omitted for clarity.
