A new approach to the determination of high-resolution three-dimensional structures of supramolecular complexes has been developed based on the complexation-induced changes in 1H NMR chemical shift. The optimised NMR structure of the complex (see picture) agrees remarkably well with the X-ray crystal structure (rmsd = 0.37 Å).
