Inorganic, organic and perfluorinated compounds usually <strong>di</strong>splay a low affinity for each other.<br />

Recent stu<strong>di</strong>es have however demonstrated that formation of supramolecular aggregates driven<br />

by halogen bon<strong>di</strong>ng [1] between <strong>di</strong>iodoperfluorocarbons and io<strong>di</strong>de anions is possible, provi<strong>di</strong>ng<br />

that ion-pairing effects (of the salt used) are outweighed by using an appropriate ionophore<br />

acting as a selective cation sequestering agent. [2]<br />

In this report we show that the self-assembly of hybrid supramolecular salts compounded of<br />

CsI, calixarenes, and <strong>di</strong>iodoperfluoroalkanes can be induced, both in the solid state and in<br />

solution, by harnessing a set of non-covalent forces. [3] In the solid state, the caesium ion is<br />

nested in the crown loop of the receptor, and shielded by a picolyl unit and a phenol ring<br />

involved in cation- interactions. The io<strong>di</strong>de anion, on the other hand, assembles into <strong>di</strong>screte<br />

aggregates held together by the concomitant action of hydrogen bon<strong>di</strong>ng (ethanol-io<strong>di</strong>de) and<br />

halogen bon<strong>di</strong>ng (<strong>di</strong>iodoperfluorocarbon-io<strong>di</strong>de). Single crystal X-ray analysis as well as 19 F<br />

NMR techniques show that the ‘naked’ io<strong>di</strong>de anion is a strong halogen bon<strong>di</strong>ng acceptor even<br />

in the presence of protic solvents. In keeping with these observations, we have used calixcrown<br />

1 in conjunction with a number of (<strong>di</strong>)iodoperfluoroalkanes to force the selective uptake of<br />

caesium io<strong>di</strong>de from aqueous into fluorous phase.<br />

We will <strong>di</strong>scuss two aspects of our research into deep-cavity cavitands. In organic solvents,<br />

these bowl-shaped molecules rea<strong>di</strong>ly form 1:1 complexes with suitable guest molecules (below<br />

left). We will report on the synthesis [1,2] and properties of cavitands possessing functionalized<br />

concavity that are capable of selectively reacting with complementary guests. We will also<br />

<strong>di</strong>scuss water-soluble cavitands that form capsular complexes capable of entrapping one or<br />

more guests (2:1 complex shown below right).[3,4] We will report on some of the unusual<br />

properties of these complexes, and our recent efforts to understan<strong>di</strong>ng the thermodynamics<br />

driving their formation.<br />
