interactions may be important to decide the crystalline form. When
the alkyl group is medium such as butyl, suitable interactions
between the SQ substrate and guest molecule could form the
thermodynamically stable clathrate crystals. The size of toluene
and p-xylene, which fit the cage formed by the SQ substrate could
be also an important factor to form the clathrate crystal.

We have serendipitously found that only an N-butyl indolenine
SQ derivative could include toluene and p-xylene. These clathrate
crystals exhibited solid-state fluorescence at 761 nm with 0.02

JNM-ECX 400P spectrometer. Mass spectra were taken on a JEOL
MStation 700 spectrometer. UVevis absorption and fluorescence
spectra were taken on Hitachi U-3500, U-4000, and F-4500 spec-
trophotometers, respectively. Thermal and elemental analyses
were performed on SII technology TG/DTA6300 and Yanako CHN

purchased from TOKYO CHEMICAL INDUSTRY CO., LTD. Compound
SQ dye 16 was recrystallized from toluene and p-xylene to give
