چکیده

For the first time a lid-free and charge-free inclusion complex with cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) has been isolated, the crystal structure is reported and the robust nature of the complex is demonstrated in the solid state while facile controlled release of the guest is achieved in solution.

Dual-responsive supramolecular colloidal microcapsules from cucurbit[8]uril molecular recognition in microfluidic droplets†

The macrocyclic host, cucurbit[8]uril, is used to facilitate cross-linking of colloidal particles and polymers in microdroplets resulting in thermoand photo-responsive supramolecular colloidal microcapsules. Methyl viologen-bearing colloidal particles were prepared using template polymerisation and combined with cucurbit[8]uril and an azobenzene-functionalised polymer within microfluidic drople...

Noncovalent catch and release of carboxylates in water.

Association constants of a bis-(acetylguanidinium)ferrocene dication to various (di)carboxylates were determined through UV-vis titrations. Association constant values greater than 10(4) M(-1) were determined for both phthalate and maleate carboxylates to the bis-(acetylguanidinium)ferrocene salt in pure water. Density functional theory computations of the binding enthalpy of the rigid carboxyl...

Surface-immobilised micelles via cucurbit[8]uril-rotaxanes for solvent-induced burst release.

The fabrication, characterisation and controlled burst release of naphthol-functionalised micellar (NFM) nanostructures, which were grafted onto gold surfaces through cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) mediated host-guest interactions are described. NFMs undergo a facile change in morphology from micelles to diblock copolymers in direct response to exposure to organic solvents, including tetrahydrofuran (...

Molecular Encapsulation of Histamine H₂-Receptor Antagonists by Cucurbit[7]Uril: An Experimental and Computational Study.

The histamine H₂-receptor antagonists cimetidine, famotidine and nizatidine are individually encapsulated by macrocyclic cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]), with binding affinities of 6.57 (±0.19) × 10³ M(-1), 1.30 (±0.27) × 10⁴ M(-1) and 1.05 (±0.33) × 10⁵ M(-1), respectively. These 1:1 host-guest inclusion complexes have been experimentally examined by ¹H-NMR, UV-visible spectroscopic titrations (includ...

Study on the Application of Cucurbit[6]uril as a Nanoporous Adsorbent for the Removal of 2,4-Dinitrophenol from Wastewaters

In the present study, cucurbit[6]uril was used as a nonporous adsorbent for the removal of 2,4-dinitrophenol from aqueous solutions. The experiments were carried out in a batch system to optimize operation variables such as pH of solution, contact time, adsorbent dose and salt concentration. Langmuir, Freundlich and Tempkin isotherms were applied for the explanation of experimental data. The hi...
