In the absence of hydrophobic effects , the driving force for complexation between neutral host and guest molecules (e.g., cryptophane E and halomethanes) is a function of several factors. If size and form are suitable, as in the CHC1 3 complex 1 , complexation is enthalpy driven, and stable supermolecules result (“van der Waals molecules”).
