Abstract
Supramolecular rectangles are built from the 2+2 chalcogen bonding-based (ChB) association of 1,8-bis(telluromethylethynyl)-anthracene (BTMEA) and ditopic Lewis bases such as 4,4'-bipyridyl-ethane and analogs, demonstrating the strength and directionality of the ChB interaction in such alkynyl-telluroalkyl derivatives.
