Brothers and enemies: Anion-π and cation-π interactions act in a synergistic way when gathered in the molecular cavity of a hemicryptophane host, affording an efficient contribution (-170 kJ mol(-1)) in zwitterion recognition. NMR titration experiments and calculations reveal the positioning of the guest in the cavity of the heteroditopic receptor. This study emphasizes the importance of anion-π bonds in host-guest chemistry.
