Abstract
Clamming up: The hexaphenolic compound cyclotricatechylene, which has a bowl‐shaped cavity, forms clamlike pairs that encapsulate cations (see picture). Variable hydrogen bonding allows two linked cyclotricatechylene clamshells to be in a closed arrangement when smaller cations such Rb+ or Cs+ provide the clam meat, whereas larger cations such as NMe4+ and NEt4+ cause the clam to be partially opened. magnified imageKeywords
