چکیده

N-Substituted 4-benzoylpyridinium monocations form stable host-guest complexes with cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) in DMSO (K(eq) approximately 0.6-1.9 x 10(3) M(-1)). Observation of simultaneous reversible and quasi-reversible e-transfer processes from the free and intercalated quests, respectively, is attributed to the pre-e-transfer host-guest equilibrium. The standard rate constant for Me-BP@CB[7] (k(s) = 1.0 x 10(-4) cm.s(-1)) reflects e-transfer across 5.7 A, corresponding to the distance of the intercalated guest from the outmost perimeter of CB[7] (5.3 A).

Encapsulation of charge-diffuse peralkylated onium cations in the cavity of cucurbit[7]uril.

Cucurbit[7]uril binds, with considerable size selectivity, NR(4)(+), PR(4)(+), and SR(3)(+) cations (R=Me, Et, (n)Pr, (n)Bu), with the smaller guests inside its cavity, rather than at the carbonyl-lined portals.

Effect of torsional isomerization and inclusion complex formation with cucurbit[7]uril on the fluorescence of 6-methoxy-1-methylquinolinium.

Inclusion of 6-methoxy-1-methylquinolinium (C1MQ) in the cavity of cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) was studied by absorption, fluorescence, NMR and isothermal calorimetric methods in aqueous solution at 298 K. The free C1MQ exhibited dual-exponential fluorescence decay kinetics due to the two torsional isomers differing in the orientation of the methoxy moiety relative to the heterocyclic ring. The entha...

Complexation mechanism of cucurbit[6]uril with hexamethylene diammonium cations in saline solution.

Binding of cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) with the hexamethylene diammonium cation (HD(2+)) in the presence of sodium ions is elucidated at the atomic level. The most probable complex of CB[6] in saline solution is found to be CB[6]:Na(+). A two-stage binding process of CB[6]:Na(+) with HD(2+) is proposed.

Defection-selective solubilization and chemically-responsive solubility switching of single-walled carbon nanotubes with cucurbit[7]uril.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were suspended in aqueous media with cucurbit[7]uril (CB7), while SWCNTs were insoluble with cucurbit[5]uril (CB5). Moreover, defection-selective solubilization of SWCNTs with CB7 was demonstrated.

Supramolecular logic with macrocyclic input and competitive reset.

The fluorescence of a designed water-soluble 4-sulfonato-1,8-naphthalimide dye can be switched on by the synchronous host-guest complexation with cucurbit[7]uril and decrease in pH (from 9 to 7). This affords a dual resettable (by addition of cadaverine as competitor or by deprotonation) logic gate based on modulation of photoinduced electron transfer.
