The presence of a doubly-linked naphthylene clip at the <i>O</i>-2<sup>I</sup> and <i>O</i>-3<sup>II</sup> positions in the secondary ring of β-cyclodextrin (βCD) derivatives promoted their self-assembly into head-to-head supramolecular dimers in which the aromatic modules act either as cavity extension walls (if the naphthalene moiety is 1,8-disubstituted) or as folding screens that separate the individual βCD units (if 2,3-disubstituted). Dimer architecture is governed by the conformational pr ...[more]
