C (21) bonds. As a result a cavity is formed which has rectan-gularly shaped open ends (~ 3.5 X 7.9 Á) 21 and a depth of 6.5 Á. The mode of inclusion of the guest molecule is as follows. As expected the benzene ring, fits well with the cavity, being nearly parallel to the inner wall, and the methyl groups which are oriented to the outside protrude partly from the cavity. The closest contacts between the host and guest molecules (< 3.80 Á) are shown in Figure 1 with dotted lines. Since durene is a nonpolar substrate and the complex was obtained from aqueous solution, it is indicated that hydrophobic interaction plays an important role and that polar interactions (ie, electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding) do not participate inthe complex formation between 2b-4HCl and durene. On the basis of the direct evidence of 1: 1 inclusion described above, water-soluble paracyclophanes will be generally useful to trap and fix nonpolar substrates of definite shape and size in aqueous solution. Modification of the nature of the cavity and introduction of functional groups are now in progress.
