Description

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>An anthracene cyclic hexamer was synthesized by the coupling reaction as a macrocyclic hydrocarbon host. This disk‐shaped host included a C<jats:sub>60</jats:sub> guest in 1:1 ratio to form a Saturn‐type supramolecular complex in solution and in crystals. X‐ray analysis unambiguously revealed that the guest molecule was accommodated in the middle of the host cavity with several CH⋅⋅⋅π contacts. The association constant K<jats:sub>a</jats:sub> determined by NMR titration measurements was 2.3×10<jats:sup>3</jats:sup> L mol<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> at 298 K in toluene. The structural features and the role of CH⋅⋅⋅π interactions are discussed with the aid of DFT calculations.</jats:p>
