ResumoAn insoluble complex formed by self-assembly: Terephthalate and an acridine-substituted cyclen–ZnII complex react to give the 2:1 complex 1, which results in a supramolecular chainlike aggregate, insoluble in water, that is held together by intermolecular hydrophobic interactions. Since the other phthalate isomers do not behave in this way, it is possible to separate terephthalate selectively.
