Abstract :
A dicationic tweezer incorporating two acridinium moieties linked by a 2,6-diphenylpyridine spacer was shown to self-assemble in an entwined dimer both in acetonitrile and water. The reaction was studied according to solvent polarity, temperature and concentration conditions. The entwined structure was confirmed in the solid state via single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
