Design and components for the formation of host–guest complexes with cramming or threading amphiphilic oligomers. a Schematic representation of the cramming or threading of long amphiphilic oligomers into a molecular capsule. b Polyaromatic capsule 1 (R = -OCH2CH2OCH3) and the X-ray crystal structure (the peripheral substituents are replaced by hydrogen atoms for clarity). c Methyl-capped oligo(ethylene oxide)s (nEO) and its pentamer 5EO and decamer 10EO with their optimized structures. Cyclic pentamer CE and non-capped pentamer 5EO’ and octamer 8EO’
