In the context of host-guest chemistry, an apohost is a guest-free solid phase of a host. For example, p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene is a well-known host compound that forms solid-state supramolecular complexes with a wide variety of guests. A guest-free apohost) phase can be crystallized by sublimation under vacuum (Figure 2), but a different apohost phase can be grown by slow cooling of a solution of the host in warm tetradecane. This example demonstrates that an apohost can be polymorphic, and the cautious writer is well advised to refer to an apohost phase rather than the apohost phase. 

Especially notable is also the synthesis and structural characterization of an unusual antimony(III) guanidinate. 1,2,3-Tiiisopropylguanidine, Pr N = C(NHPr )2,was found to react with 1 molar equivalent of Sb(NMe2)3 in toluene under formation of a yellow solution, from which the novel compound Sb[Pr NC(NPr )2][Pr NHC(NPr )2] could be isolated in 10% yield as highly air-sensitive crystals. In the solid state, the complex adopts a heavily distorted trigonal-bipyramidal molecular structure in which the Sb is chelated by a [CfNPr ls] dianion and a [Pr NHC(NPr )2] monoanion (Figure 16).

Nickel and platinum complexes of alkynols and alkynediols are an interesting class of organometallic complex self-associated by O-H- -O hydrogen-bond interactions. Their solid-state supramolecular assembly has been the subject of thorough studies [127].
