Abstract

We report two crystals and one gel formed by a chiral Mo(VI) complex. The particular accumulation of complex molecules creates inert irregular cavities for trapping a solvent adduct. The sp³-CH–π interaction models of mesitylene–mesitylene and mesitylene–CH₂Cl₂–mesitylene adducts in an irregular accumulation environment are directly observed.
