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.

Facile purification of rare cucurbiturils by affinity chromatography.

TL;DR: A practical method for the separation and purification of cucurbituril (CB) hexamers was developed on the basis of affinity chromatography using aminopentylaminomethylated polystyrene beads, which allows convenient, rapid isolation of rare substituted cucURbiturils.

Lanthanide Complexes with Cucurbit[n]urils (n = 5, 6, 7) and Perrhenate Ligands: New Examples of Encapsulation of Perrhenate Anions

TL;DR: The reaction of lanthanide nitrates with cucurbit[n]urils under hydrothermal conditions in the presence of perrhenic acid and, for some of them, other reactants such as KNO(3) yielded 14 new complexes which were crystallographically characterized and present some original features.

Selective molecular recognition of methylated lysines and arginines by cucurbit[6]uril and cucurbit[7]uril in aqueous solution

TL;DR: With CB[6], protonation of the guest carboxylate group is required for the formation of inclusion complexes with the LysMe(n) series, and the CB[7] host displays modest selectivity between the asymmetric and symmetric dimethylarginines, both of which bind more strongly than the parent arginine or monomethylarginine.

Degradation of bidentate-coordinated platinum(II)-based DNA intercalators by reduced L-glutathione.

TL;DR: The major degradation product, [bis-mu-{reduced L-glutathione}bis-5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline}bis{platinum(II)}] (2+) (5, 56MEGL), displays no cytotoxicity and is excluded as the source of the anticancer activity.

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.
