Tubes versus spheres : A new inclusion complex of alkylpyrogallol[4]arene and ferrocene is described. Unlike the previously reported dimer, the tubular motif shown is not stable in methanolic solution and dissociates into a dimer. Its formation is thus likely due to a high alkylpyrogallol[4]arene/ferrocene ratio coupled with shifting solvent conditions during evaporation.
