A Method for Synthesizing Partially Substituted Cucurbit[n]uril
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel approach to cucurbituril synthesis is described where partial substitution is introduced into cucurbit[n]uril. The identification of homologues (and their substitution) in reaction mixtures is achieved by a combination of ESMS and the use of the molecular probes (guests) 1,4dioxane and 1,9-octanediamine. A unique symmetrical hexamethylcucurbit[3,3]uril, the major product, was isolated and characterized.

Simultaneous electron transfer from free and intercalated 4-benzoylpyridinium cations in cucurbit[7]uril.
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]...
متن کاملHydrophobic monofunctionalized cucurbit[7]uril undergoes self-inclusion complexation and forms vesicle-type assemblies.
Hydrophobic monofunctionalized cucurbit[7]uril derivatives (1 and 2) were synthesized by clicking CB[7]-azide with propargylated alkylamines. Compounds 1 and 2 form self-inclusion complexes that are transformed into vesicle-type assemblies by addition of guests (3-5) as confirmed by (1)H and DOSY NMR, SEM, TEM, and fluorescence spectroscopy.
متن کاملA general and efficient method to form self-assembled cucurbit[n]uril monolayers on gold surfaces.
A general protocol based on spontaneous adsorption of cucurbit[n]uril (CB[n]) molecules through a strong multivalence interaction between CB[n] and gold is described, by which the formation of self-assembled CB[n] monolayers on gold surfaces can be efficiently achieved.
متن کاملDefection-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.
متن کاملTopical Cream-Based Dosage Forms of the Macrocyclic Drug Delivery Vehicle Cucurbit[6]uril
The macrocycle family of molecules called cucurbit[n]urils are potential drug delivery vehicles as they are able to form host-guest complexes with many different classes of drugs. This study aimed to examine the utility of Cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) in topical cream-based formulations for either localised treatment or for transdermal delivery. Cucurbit[6]uril was formulated into both buffered crea...
