✦ Synopsis

Treatment of globular 1,2-dicarbadodecaborane(12) (o-remarkable range of different supramolecular interplay beyond the common structural unit, a ball-and-socket nano-carborane) 1 with the bowl-shaped container molecule calix[5]arene 2 affords either the crystalline 1:1 or 1:2 host-structure or supermolecule [(o-carborane)ʝ(calix[5]arene)]. Complex 3 forms dimeric [(o-carborane)ʝ(calix[5]arene)] 2 guest complexes (o-carborane)(calix[5]arene)(CH 2 Cl 2 ) 3, (ocarborane)(calix[5]arene)(toluene) 4 and (o-carborane)-units, and 5 has an additional edge on interaction between the supermolecule and a secondary calix[5]arene host. (calix[5]arene) 2 (CH 2 Cl 2 ) 0.5 5. The three complexes show a complexes with diaza-18-crown-6 and aza-18-crown-6 again
