A preparative strategy for supramolecular inclusion compounds by combination of dimer formation of isonicotinic acid and coordination bonding

A new inclusion compound host [Ni(SCN)(2)(isoH)(2)], whose cavity is suitable to include large aromatic guests, has been synthesized by a method of combining the dimer formation of isonicotinic acid by double hydrogen bonds with a 1D Ni thiocyanato complex.
