The special guest: In the host–guest chemistry of dinuclear complexes that contain the 9H-fluorene-9,9′-dimethanediphenylphosphinite ligand the synergy between the phenyl groups and the axial fluorene moiety leads to the formation of molecular cavities that have selective steric affinity for the anions BF4− or PF6− (see picture). An unprecedented M⋅⋅⋅F(PF5)⋅⋅⋅M bridging coordination mode of PF6− has now been established.
