Dissymmetric new hemicarcerands containing four bridges of different lengths

Abstract

Three new hemicarcerands 1–3 each with one unique eight-atom-long bridge and three identical six-atom-long bridges are reported along with a crystal structure of 2⊙PhNO₂, a totally dissymmetric host with nitrobenzene as encapsulated guest.
