The nickel macrocycle 5,7,12,14-tetramethyldibenzo[b,i]-[t,4,8,11]tetraazacyclotetradecinenickel(II ), which possesses two divergent concave surfaces, is a versatile receptor molecule for the formation of supramolecular arrays with globular molecules. This is demonstrated for three disparate main group cage molecules C

: the macrocycle interacts with two cages, or one cage perched in each cavity, or self-associates as a dimeric divergent receptor with a cage perched in the available cavity of each macrocycle.
