Cover Story: Since 1981, the pyridinophane family of N-heterocyclic ligands has been studied with multiple applications such as chemosensing, enzyme mimicking and MRI contrast agents. We have now fortuitously discovered that a pyridinophane derivative decorated with a tosyl group is able to stabilise the exotic tribromide (Br3) anion in the solid state by deploying a large variety of supramolecular forces, including hydrogen bonds, salt-bridges, and the controversial and counterintuitive anion–π interactions. Herein, we show the possibility of detecting anion–π contacts from fingerprint plots generated by Hirshfeld surface analysis, demonstrating the effective usage of this structural investigation technique to further dissect individual contributions of stabilising supramolecular forces.
