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.

The ex vivo neurotoxic, myotoxic and cardiotoxic activity of cucurbituril-based macrocyclic drug delivery vehicles

TL;DR: The results show continued potential of cucurbiturils as drug delivery vehicles for the reduction of the side effects associated with platinum-based chemotherapy, and a relative lack of toxicity displayed by these macrocycles in whole animal acute systemic toxicity studies.

Complexation of aliphatic ammonium ions with a water-soluble cucurbit[6]uril derivative in pure water: isothermal calorimetric, NMR, and X-ray crystallographic study.

TL;DR: The thermodynamic parameters associated with the complexation are discussed in relation to the binding modes and conformations of the aliphatic chain of the guest molecules inside the host, which were investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.

Host–guest complexations of local anaesthetics by cucurbit[7]uril in aqueous solution

TL;DR: The cucurbit[7]uril host molecule forms very stable host-guest complexes with the local anaesthetics and the complexation-induced chemical shift changes in the guest proton resonances provide an indication of the site(s) of binding and the effects of protonation on the location of the binding sites.
