A wide range of reaction conditions are examined that include the effects of acid type, acid concentration, reactant concentrations, and temperature to both probe the mechanism and optimize the yields of isolated cucurbit[n]urils, where n = 5-10.
Abstract
The acid-catalyzed synthesis of cucurbit[n]urils from formaldehyde and glycoluril is poorly understood. In this paper, we examine a wide range of reaction conditions that include the effects of acid type, acid concentration, reactant concentrations, and temperature to both probe the mechanism and optimize the yields of isolated cucurbit[n]urils, where n = 5−10. A mechanism for the formation of these cucurbit[n]urils is presented. Individual cucurbit[n]urils were unambiguously identified in reaction mixtures using ESMS and 13C NMR.

Cucurbit [n] uril compounds and analogs, and methods of making and using the same

TL;DR: In this paper, a macrocycle wall of a cucurbit[n]uril compound is selected from the group consisting of CB[5], CB[6, CB[7] and CB[8] compounds, the compounds having an internal cavity which may be used to contain a guest compound.

Symmetrical-Tetramethyl-Cucurbit[6]uril-Driven Movement of Cucurbit[7]uril Gives Rise to Heterowheel [4]Pseudorotaxanes.

TL;DR: In the construction process, due to strong repulsive forces between carbonyl portals of two neighboring wheels, the dethreading and movement of the wheels along the axle was observed and the dissociation of the [4]pseudorotaxanes was also discussed.

Fluorescence visualization of cucurbit[8]uril-triggered dynamic host–guest assemblies

TL;DR: Characterization suggested that the Q[8] host-stabilized charge-transfer interactions could be dissociated and controlled by the N-substituted alkyl chains on the cationic guests via the formation of a 2 : 3 quinary complex or a U-shaped conformation, which led to the discovery of new possible binding modes for the Q(8) host.

Kinked-Helix Actinide Polyrotaxanes from Weakly Bound Pseudorotaxane Linkers with Variable Conformations.

TL;DR: This work enriches the library of actinide-rotaxane compounds and provides a new approach to construct metal-organic compounds with complicated structures using weakly bonded pseudorotaxanes as well.

Chemoresponsive polymer systems for selective molecular recognition of organic molecules in biological systems.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the state of the art in the self-assemblies of amphiphilic copolymers and polymer networks sensitive toward organic species and focuses on the relationship between the selectivity of introduced receptor moieties responsible for the change of material structure, the overall structure of material and its functionality.

Host–guest complexes of cucurbituril with the 4-methylbenzylammonium lon, alkali-metal cations and NH4+

TL;DR: In this article, the existence of two different complexes of cucurbituril with 4-methylbenzylammonium ions was reported. But the 1 : 1 stability constants were not reported for the 2 : 1 complexes with different cations.
