Mineralomimetic host–guest chemistry: the encapsulation of [M+⊂[2.2.2]cryptate] (M = Na, K) by saddle shaped Ni(ii) macrocycles†
Abstract
The complex [M⊂[2.2.2]cryptate][CB11H12][Ni(TMTAA)]3, M = K, Na shows a range of supramolecular interactions to form a mineralomimetic structure corresponding to that of perovskite.
