The X-ray intensity data were measured at 110() K on a threecircle diffractometer system equipped with Bruker SmartApex CCD area detector using a graphite monochromator and a MoKα fine-focus sealed tube (λ= 0.71073 Å) operated at 50 kv and 30 ma. The detector was placed at a distance of 5.156 cm from the crystal. A total of 59 frames were collected with a scan width of 0. in and an exposure time of 0 sec/frame using SMART (Bruker, 1999). The total data collection time was 16.51 hours. The frames were integrated with SAINT software package using a narrow-frame integration algorithm. The integration of the data using a Orthorhombic unit cell yielded a total of 101765 reflections to a maximum angle of 5.03, of which 9754 were independent (completeness = 97.9%, R int = 11.38%, R sig = 16.67%) and 16693 were greater than σ(i). The final cell dimensions of a = 5.478(3) Å, b = 5.873(3) Å, c = 6.538(3) Å, α= 90, β= 90, γ= 90, V = 17494(3) Å 3, are based upon the refinement of the XYZcentroids of 6903 reflections with. < θ < 4.9 using SAINT. Analysis of the data showed 0.07 % decay during data collection. Data were corrected for absorption effects with the Semi-empirical from equivalents method using XPREP (Sheldrick, 1997). The minimum and maximum transmission coefficients were 0.700 and 0.935. The structure was solved and refined using the SHELXS-97 (Sheldrick, 1990) and SHELXL-97 (Sheldrick, 1997) software in the space group P 1 1 1 with Z = 4 for the formula unit CB8*3*I *nh O. The final anisotropic full-matrix least-squares refinement on F with 430 variables converged at R 1 = 8.6 % for the observed data and wr = 1.11 % for all data. The goodness-of-fit was 1.001. The largest peak on the final difference map was 1.75 e/å 3 and the largest hole was -0.981 e/å 3. On the basis of the final model, the calculated density was 1.608 g/cm 3 and F(000), 8785 e. S7

The X-ray intensity data were measured at 193() K on a three-circle diffractometer system equipped with Bruker Smart1000 CCD area detector using a graphite monochromator and a MoKα fine-focus sealed tube (λ= 0.71073 Å) operated at 50 kv and 40 ma. The detector was placed at a distance of 4.990 cm from the crystal. A total of 1868 frames were collected with a scan width of 0.3 in ω and an exposure time of 3 sec/frame using SMART (Bruker, 1999). The total data collection time was 15.6 hours. The frames were integrated with SAINT software package using a narrow-frame integration algorithm. The integration of the data using a Orthorhombic unit cell yielded a total of 4731 reflections to a maximum θ angle of 5.00, of which 43080 were independent (completeness = 99.9%, R int = 0.00%, R sig = 5.36%) and 30509 were greater than σ(i).

The following spectra are representative examples of those acquired during the determination of the various K a and K rel values. In the spectra presented here only some of the resonances are integrated to focus attention on those uncluttered regions of the spectrum where good integrals can be obtained. Although we have fully analyzed and assigned all of the spectra, we have not depicted those assignments here for reasons of clarity. The resonance at 1.9 ppm is due to residual H-atoms present in the CD 3 CO D used to make the buffer. Figure S8. One of the 1 H NMR spectra used in the direct determination of K a for CB[6] 8. S14

Sample Determination of K rel for the Competition Between 5 and 1 for CB[7]. We use equation 1 to determine K rel for the interaction of 5 and 1 for CB[7]. For this purpose, we prepared a solution containing CB[7] (40 μm), 5 (840 μm), and 1 (137.7 mm) and allowed it to reach equilibrium (Figure S17). Next, we determined the relative concentrations of 1 and CB[7] 1 by integration of the appropriate resonances in the 1 H NMR spectrum (Figure 1: -0.17 ppm; CB[7] 1: -0.93 ppm). Using the relative concentrations and the mass balance expression (equation ) allowed us to calculate [1] free = 709.4 μm and [CB[7] 1] = 130.6 μm. Equation 3 is then used to calculate [CB[7] 5] (109.4 μm) using the known value of CB[7] 1. Lastly, equation 4 is used to calculate [5] free (137.59 mm) using the known value of [CB[7] 5]. K rel = ([CB[7] 1][5] free ) / ([CB[7] 5][1] free ) (1) [1] Total = 840 μm = [1] free + [CB[7] 1] () [CB[7]] Total = 40 μm = [CB[7] 1] + [CB[7] 5] (3) [5] Total = 137.7 mm = [5] free + [CB[7] 5] (4) Substitution of the values of [CB[7] 1], [1] free, [CB[7] 5], and [5] free into equation 1 gave K rel = 31.5. These determinations were done in triplicate from independently prepared stock solutions and the average values were used in the calculations of K a and the error analysis shown below. In preparing the solutions for the above determinations we used a small excess of 1 (to ensure there is no free CB[7]) and a large excess of 5; under those conditions the errors in [5] free, [1] free are small and both [1] and [CB[7] 1] are kept in a good range for accurate measurement of their ratio by 1 H NMR. Sample Error Analysis Calculation for CB[7] 4. Since the binding constants in this paper are determined by several levels of 1 H NMR competition experiments referenced to an absolute K a measured for CB[7] 5 measured by UV/Vis titration, a proper error analysis is critical. In this section we give a sample calculation of the error analysis used to determine the uncertainty associated with the K a value for CB[7] 4. Step 1 Estimation of the accuracy of 1 H NMR methods for the determination of guest and host guest concentrations. We used 1 H NMR to repeatedly determine the concentration of samples of known concentration of guest and host guest complex by monitoring guest resonances. The 1 H NMR based method was accurate with a standard deviation of ± 3%. Step Determination of the Uncertainty Associated with a Single Level of Competition (K rel ). We propagated the above uncertainty associated with the NMR determination of concentrations (e.g. {(σ [CB[n] guest] )/[CB[n] guest]} = 0.03 and {(σ [Guest] )/[Guest]} = 0.03) of using equations 5 and equations 6 7 (Bevington eq. 4-11, pages 61 6). Equation 6 delivers the uncertainty associated with the weighted product (x) of two values (u and v) (e.g. x = ±a u v). Similarly, equation 7 delivers the uncertainty for dividing two numbers (e.g. x = ±(a u) / v). We make the assumption that the fluctuations in u and v are not correlated (σ uv = 0) which when substituted into equations 6 and 7 delivers equation 8. Rearranging slightly yields equation 9 which allows us to directly use the 3% uncertainty determined for our NMR method. K rel = ([CB[n] G][G1]) / ([CB[n] G1][G]) (5) S4

σ x = σ u σ v σ + + uv x u v uv (6) σ x = σ u σ v σ + - uv x u v uv (7) σ x = σ u σ + v x u v (8) σ x = x σ u u + σ v v (9) We break the uncertainty determination in K rel (equation 1) into three steps: 1) Multiplying [CB[n] G][G1], ) multiplying [CB[n] G1][G], and 3) dividing the two results. Substituting (σ[cb[n] G] / [CB[n] G]) = 0.03 and (σ[g1]/[g1]) = 0.03 into equation 9 gives equation 10 and an uncertainty of 4.4% for [CB[n] G][G1] (equation 11). Similarly, the uncertainty of [CB[n] G1][G] is 4.4%. σ [CB[n] G][G1] = [CB[n] G][G1] (0.03) + (0.03) (10) σ [CB[n] G][G1] [CB[n] G][G1] = 0.044 (11) With the two values of the uncertainties of [CB[n] G][G1] and [CB[n] G1][G] (4.4%) in hand we next substituted these values into equation 9 to give the uncertainty in K rel (eq. 1 13) of 6%. σ Krel K rel = σ [CB[n] G][G1] [CB[n] G1][G] [CB[n] G][G1] [CB[n] G1][G] = (0.044) + (0.044) (1) σ Krel K rel = 0.06 (13) Step 3 Determination of the Uncertainty in the K a value for CB[7] 5. We obtained an uncertainty in the value of K a for CB[7] 5 (K a = 8.07 ± 0.60 x 10 4 M -1 ) (7.43 %) from the nonlinear least squares fit of the UV/Vis titration data to a 1:1 binding model. Step 4 Determination of K a for CB[7] 1 by competition of 5 and 1 for a limiting quantity of CB[7]. We used 1 H NMR competition experiments to determine K rel = 5.5 for these two guests. Substitution of K CB[7] 5 = 8.07 10 4 M -1 and K rel into equation 14 gave K CB[7] 1 = 1.8 10 7 M -1 (equation 15). The uncertainty in K CB[7] 1 can be determined using equation 16. Substituting σ(k CB[7] 5 )/K CB[7] 5 = 0.0743 and σ(k rel )/K rel = 0.10 [Note that we are using the even more conservative 10% error in this analysis] gives the percent error in K CB[7] 1 (equation 17).
