Both posit ive Pt centers sit on top of each other at one CB[8] portal\, leaving the o ther void of any guest interaction.1 Favorable dispersive interactions betw een the stacked tpy ligands and possible metal-metal bonding through dz2-dz 2 orbital overlap are proposed as driving forces for the recognition patter n. We will present some self-sorting properties of these assemblies1 and us e them as catalysts for the photoreduction of water.2 We will conclude with a rather provocative study showing that the binding selectivity of CB[n]s (n = 5 – 8)\, at least when guests are hydrocarbons or noble gases\, can be predicted by mimicking the macrocycles with hard-sphere solvents with low polarities and low polarizabilities and “pre-formed” cavities.3\n\n \n\n\n\ nFigure 1.
