Modulating intermolecular charge-transfer (ICT) interactions between specific donor and acceptor species in host-guest systems is a big challenge and full of research value in supramolecular chemistry and materials science. In this work, a strategy to modulate the supramolecular ICT interactions in the solid state is developed by compressing the binding cavity of a macrocyclic host named perethylated leaning pillar[6]arene ( p-EtLP6). The solid-state ICT affinities of p-EtLP6 toward multi-types of electron-deficient planar guests could be significantly enhanced by transforming the macrocyclic backbone from the original para-bridged mode into a hybrid para- and meta-bridged isomeric form ( m-EtLP6). X-ray single-crystal structural analyses incorporating theoretical calculation demonstrate that the improved ICT affinities are mainly attributed to the superior host-guest size fit arising from the compressed binding cavity in m-EtLP6 as compared with p-EtLP6.
