Abstract
Abstract N,N′-Dimethyl-2,7-diazapyrenium bis(hexafluorophosphate) binds a C3-symmetric bis(m-phenylene)-32-crown-10-based cryptand more strongly than N,N′-dimethyl-4,4′-bipyridinium bis(hexafluorophosphate) partly because of its better fit in size with the cryptand host cavity, while it binds a relatively smaller pyridyl cryptand less strongly due to its worse fit in size with the cryptand host cavity and the lack of hydrogen bonding to the pyridyl nitrogen atom of the host.
