Can't do it.  Here's a proof.

Suppose you could find a _single_ set that contains everything that
doesn't intersect some other set (the complement).  Let S be the
complement of the empty set.  S is not an element of the empty set, so
it must be a member of S, which is impossible.

Finding the complement of a set assuming some other set is not hard
though, simply by using the set difference operator.
