A methoxy-functionalized C-3-symmetrical 1,3,5-triaroylbenzene derivative w
as prepared by cyclotrimerization of a substituted aryl ethynyl ketone. Thi
s material was found to form a stable inclusion complex with benzene in a h
ost:guest ratio of 1:1 as revealed by X-ray crystallography. The solid stat
e structure appears to be stabilized by aromatic C-H ... O hydrogen bonds b
etween the benzene guest and the triaroylbenzene host. (C) 1999 Elsevier Sc
