Abstract
The host compound
forms a coordinato-clathrate in a coordination assisted host lattice. The host lattice is provided by hydrogen bonding between the nitrogen atom of the cyano group and two hydrogen atoms from the phosphonium methyl group. Guest molecules ofp-xylene occupy constricted channels in the lattice. The twop-xylene molecules participate in C−H...π(Ar)...H−C interactions. Results from searches of the Cambridge Structural Database for other C−H...π(Ar)...H−C and C−H...π(Ar) interactions are presented.
