A new kind of host compound, 2,5-bis(diphenylmethyl)hydroquinone is designed and prepared. The crystal structure of the inclusion compound formed by the host with benzaldehyde was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The result shows that the host exhibits a stable conformation through intramolecular CH?π interactions in the inclusion crystal, and benzaldehyde guest molecules are accommodated in the channel which is constructed by the hosts, in which intermolecular C-H?π interactions between the hosts, play an important role in the architecture of channel framework besides van der Waal's forces. The complex structure is further stabilized by strong hydrogen bonding (O1-H1?O1′) and two weak C-H?O interactions (C5′-H5′?O1, C3- H3?O1′) between the host and guest.
