Abstract
Two cyclic Lewis acidic receptors, namely B-hexamethyl-9-mecuracarborand-3, [9,12-(CH3)2-C2B10H8Hg]3, each host a single water molecule. A benzene molecule is situated between the two complexed water molecules in a sandwich fashion that suggests there is O−H⋅⋅⋅π hydrogen bonding (see structure).Keywords
