Inclusion structures incorporating more than one guest molecule are elusive because confinement alters their molecular properties. We report the solid-state characterization of an inclusion complex comprising two γ-cyclodextrins and two [Cu(2-pyridinemethanolate)(2-pyridinemethanol)]PF6 units. Quantum calculation reveals that interfragment charge transfer occurs. The confined Cu fragment and the unincluded "linear chain [Cu(2-pyridinemethanolate)(2-pyridinemethanol)]PF6" exhibit different properties.
