Supramolecular macrocycles reversibly assembled by Te…O chalcogen bonding
Similarly to halogen bonding, the heavier chalcogens are capable of forming supramolecular links with electron rich sites. Here, the authors show that these forces can allow the formation of well-defined cyclic structures that are stable in solution and are capable of forming host-guest complexes.
