“…The stoichiometry of the complex is given by the number of G and H molecules contained in the supramolecular complex, the general notation being G n H m ; the most common stoichiometry is 1:1 (GH), implying the inclusion of a single guest molecule, but other stoichiometries like G 1 H 2 , G 2 H 1 , G 2 H 2 , G 1 H 3 , G 3 H 1 , etc., can be encountered as well (Baglole et al, 2005;De Azevedo et al, 2000;Ge et al, 2011;Sancho et al, 2011;Shen et al, 1998) and some of them will be further discussed from a structural point of view. As the formation of the G 1 H 2 complex can be the result of two successive equilibriums, the simultaneous presence of 1:1 and 1:2 complexes is also frequently mentioned.…”
