Remarkably enhanced stability of the self-assembled hydrogen-bonded heterocapsule 1×2 by the encapsulation of 1,4-bis(1-propynyl)benzene 3 a was found with Ka=1.14×109 M-1 in CDCl3 and Ka2=1.59×108 M-2 in CD3OD/CDCl3 (10 % v/v) at 298 K. The formation of 3 a(1×2) was enthalpically driven (ΔH°0 and ΔS°0) and there was a unique inflection point in the correlation between ΔH° versus ΔS° as a function of polar solvent content. The ab initio calculations revealed that favorable guest-capsule dispersion and electrostatic interactions between the acetylenic parts (triple bonds) of 3 a and the aromatic inner space of 1×2, as well as less structural deformation of 1×2 upon encapsulation of 3 a, play important roles in the remarkable stability of 3 a(1×2).
