The supramolecular recognition of closo,closo-[B21 H18 ]- by cyclodextrins (CDs) has been studied in aqueous solution by isothermal titration calorimetry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. These solution studies follow up on previous mass-spectrometric measurements and computations, which indicated the formation and stability of CD ⋅ B21 H18- complexes in the gas phase. The thermodynamic signature of solution-phase binding is exceptional, the association constant for the γ-CD complex with B21 H18- reaches 1.8×106 M-1 , which is on the same order of magnitude as the so far highest observed value for the complex between γ-CD and a metallacarborane. The nature of the intermolecular interaction is also examined by quantum-mechanical computational protocols. These suggest that the desolvation penalty, which is particularly low for the B21 H18- anion, is the decisive factor for its high binding strength. The results further suggest that the elliptical macropolyhedral boron hydride is another example of a CD binder, whose extraordinary binding affinity is driven by the chaotropic effect, which describes the intrinsic affinity of large polarizable and weakly solvated chaotropic anions to hydrophobic cavities and surfaces in aqueous solution.

The computed dipole moments of the corresponding transoid stereoisomers of both COSANs are 0 D, which intrinsically arises from their symmetries. Therefore, cartesian coordinates are justified for computing the dipole moments of the COSANs in their cisoid arrangements to produce values of 6.1 D and 2.4 D for ortho- and meta-COSAN, respectively.

The largest ΔG′c°nf values were found for B12I12 2− and B12H12 2− (3.0 and 2.6 kcal mol−1), which may indicate that these two [largest and smallest] guests require a slight expansion or contraction of the γ-CD cavity to facilitate binding (see also Figure 4).
