Cyclodextrin Cavities as Probes for Ligand-Exchange Processes

Abstract

A multitopic cavity equipped with two phosphorus and four oxygen donor atoms has been successfully used for the covalent entrapment of organometallic fragments. The α-cyclodextrin–silver complex 1 is able to reversibly host one or two acetonitrile ligands.
