Abstract

The highly symmetric structure of a cagelike host enables the inclusion geometry of guest molecules in the host to be predicted in a dynamic fashion by analyzing not the guest but the host framework. For example, an S4 orientation of two 1,2-diketone guests in the clathrate complex was predicted by NMR spectroscopy and subsequently confirmed by X-ray analysis (see picture).
