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.

Host-guest interaction tailored cucurbit[6]uril-based supramolecular organic frameworks (SOFs) for drug delivery

TL;DR: This approach enables the noncovalent integration of guest molecules into ordered topologies and creates new host–guest-complex-based SOFs, i.e., the topology can be predesigned and constructed by using [ZnCl4]2− anions to induce the formation of solid Q[ 6]-SOFs, and the pore wall surface can be easily modified by the Q[6]-encapsulated guest molecules.

An ‘in-water’ halogen-ion compatible “click” catalyst for cucurbituril guest ligation

TL;DR: An ‘in-water’ halogen-ion compatible copper catalysed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) catalyst, tris[1-(3-hyroxypropyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]methanol·CuCl (THPTM·Cl), was designed for CB guest ligation and verified its applicability for the construction of CB-based supramolecular architectures.

Chameleonic binding of the dimethyldiazaperopyrenium dication by cucurbit[8]uril

TL;DR: Two are better than one: The diazaperopyrenium dication acts as both a viologen-like electron-poor and an electron-rich guest, resulting in the formation of a 1:2 complex with cucurbit[8]uril.

Ferrocene and ferrocenium inclusion compounds with cucurbiturils: a study of metal atom dynamics probed by Mössbauer spectroscopy

TL;DR: Temperature-dependent 57Fe Mössbauer effect spectroscopic studies were carried out on ferrocene, 1,1'-dimethylferrocene and ferrocenium hexafluorophosphate guest species in cucurbit[n]uril inclusion complexes, suggesting that the organometallic guest molecules do not interact significantly with the host environment over the experimental temperature range.

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.
