An inclusion complex is formed between o ‐C 2 B 10 H 12 and cyclotriveratrylene (CTV) in solution and in the solid state. The vector of approach of the carborane to the CTV cavity optimizes nonclassical hydrogen bonding between the CH groups and the aromatic ring centroids (shown schematically, right). The energy of each interaction is calculated to be 2.72 kcal mol ‐1 .
