con
cerning the possible stru

compounds was obtained from ab initio
cal
culations using a two-layer approximation. The
cationi

clopentadienyl
analogues form stable two-to-one (host-to-guest)
channel-type in
clusion
compounds in a
crystalline state. By
contrast, the
chars/eta.gif" BORDER=0 >
5-indenyl
analogues form only weak
complexes with
chars/beta2.gif" BORDER=0 ALIGN="middle">-CD and it is evident that the organometalli
cguests are easily liberated from the host
cavities. The ab initio
cal
culations revealed thatthe steri
c hindran
ce arising from the presen
ce of the indenyl ligand is a possible expl
anationfor the experimentally observed lower stability of these
compounds.
