The title compounds were found to be good host molecule for various organic guests.In the crystal structures of the 2:1 p-xylene inclusion complexes of the title host molecules, each p-xylene molecule is surrounded by four phenyl groups of the two neighboring host molecules.Application of such inclusion phenomena to the separation of isomers was also reported.
