From: Exact mass analysis of sulfur clusters upon encapsulation by a polyaromatic capsular matrix
Formation and characterization of 1⊃(S6)2 and its stability. a Schematic representation of the encapsulation of two S6 clusters within matrix 1 in D2O (right) and the decomposition of S6 in CS2 (left). 1H NMR (500 MHz, D2O, room temperature; left) and ESI-TOF MS spectra (H2O; right) of 1⊃(S6)2 b, c before and d, e after 8 days at room temperature (asterisks indicate signals derived from 1⊃(S6•S8)). f X-ray crystal structure of 1⊃(S6)2: cylindrical and space-filling representation (solvents and counterions are omitted for clarity). g Decomposition of S6 (%) within matrix 1 in water and without matrix 1 in CS2
