Abstract

We report that a tetra-armed cyclen (L) with phenylethynylmethyl (Ph–C [triple bond, length as m-dash] C–CH₂–) groups as side-arms forms L·CH₃CN (L·AN) inclusion crystals from acetonitrile–organic mixed solvents with high selectivity and acts as if it is an acetonitrile selective molecular sponge.
