A new neutral host Pd2L2 metallacycle featuring a bulky bis-[3-pyridyl(hydroxy)methyl]-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane is synthesized and seven crystalline inclusion compounds are obtained from DMF, DMSO, EtOAc and THF, all the later acting as guest solvents. X-ray structural analysis shows the formation of 1:n (n = 6-8) host/guest crystals, indicating a high stoichiometric ratio of included solvent. X-ray diffraction analysis of all structures reveal a supramolecular ordering of the palladacycles in the solid state, through extensive hydrogen bonding or intermolecular contacts, mainly between the host and the guest molecules.
