Abstract

A comprehensive survey of the supramolecular chemistry of main group cage species covers their host-guest chemistry, molecular recognition, and inclusion/intercalation compounds. A major part of the review deals with carboranes, o-, m-, p-B₂C₁₀H₁₂, which show a remarkable ability to self assemble via hydrogen bonds involving the C-H groups, bifurcated hydrogen bonds (C-H⋯(O)₂) and C-H⋯π interactions. Group 15/16 cage molecules form host-guest supermolecules and extended structures with rigid saddle shape metal macrocycles. Insight into future prospects in this field is presented.
