The cage contains two pi-electron rich trisfuryl platforms bridged in a face-to-face manner with three p-xylylene linkers. Therefore, it enables accommodation of pi-electron poor guests with complementary size, including biscationic viologen.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCyclic PolyethersWhite PhosphorusComplexesMoleculesSelectionHostsCyclic PolyethersWhite PhosphorusComplexesMoleculesSelectionHostsArticle898089854924WOS:00090000080000110.1021/acs.orglett.2c035602-s2.0-85143533692Q1Q1364593914
