assemblies) are described. These assemblies incorporate two new bispyridyl cavitand building blocks
and were prepared in excellent yields (85−95%). The assemblies and building blocks were characterized
with multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis.
Isotopically resolved mass spectrometry along with NMR data confirms the existence of the six assemblies.
