Supercritical carbon dioxide , an environmentally friendly medium, is promising as an alternative to traditional organic solvents. However, polar molecules and high molar mass compounds are often poorly soluble in supercritical carbon dioxide. The first host–guest complex obtained in such a solvent is discussed herein, together with an analysis of the driving forces for the formation of supramolecular structures and suggestions for possible applications to fix solubility issues.
