High-level quantum-chemical methods show that the binding in the inclusion complex of hexamethylbenzene (HMB) in 6-cycloparaphenilacetylene (6-CPPA) cannot be explained only in terms of electrostatic interactions-caused by the polarization associated to curved pi-conjugated systems-and the inclusion of dispersion forces is
