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.

Supramolecular Modulation of Antibacterial Activity of Ambroxol by Cucurbit[7]uril.

TL;DR: ABX's inhibitory activity against bacillary strains towards Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli strains was decreased, and was subsequently recovered to almost its original activity when a competitive guest, amantadine hydrochloride, for disassembling CB[7]-ABX complex, was added, suggesting that the antibacterial activity of ABX could be readily "turned off/on" upon its complexation and decomplexation withCB[7].

Receptors Based on van der Waals Forces

TL;DR: These hosts are generally tailored for hydrocarbon recognition, which is a challenging target as the substrate contains no functional groups and so directed, specific molecular recognition with a functionalized receptor motif is not possible.

Cucurbituril-assisted transformation of nitronyl nitroxide into imino nitroxide in the solid state

TL;DR: In this paper, a nitronyl nitroxide, 2-(2-benzimidazolyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazolidinyl-3oxide-1-oxy, 1, is included in cucurbit[8]uril (CB8) as its hydrochloride to give water soluble complexes.

Syntheses, crystal structures and properties of self-assembly supramolecular compound based on cucurbit[6]uril

TL;DR: In this article, a new cucurbit [6]uril based compound, CCUT-101, was synthesized by the solvothermal reaction of cadmium chloride and isonicotinic acid (HINA), and X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that coordination of INA− with the Cd2+ resulted in the formation of some one-dimensional wave-like chains.

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.
