Abstract

AbstractThe complexation of four neutral guest molecules containing carbon‐oxygen double bonds, i.e., 1,6‐diacetoxyhexane (1), dimethyl hexanedioate (2), hexanal (3), and 2‐hexanone (4), by per‐ethylated pillar[5]arene is reported. These guests show remarkably different binding affinities. For example, ester 1 could be fully engulfed by the host cavity to form a [2]pseudorotaxane‐type inclusion complex, while for 2, no obvious host‐guest interaction was observed.
