Abstract
Crystalliazation and X-ray studies have revealed the existence of a new class of clathrates in which the host tetraphenylene molecule uses crystallograpic C2 symmetery in the construction of the cagework; the clathration cavity of point symmetry S4 can accommodate guest species ranging in size from methylene chloride to cyclohexane.
