TLDR
A new pseudorotaxane was designed and synthesized on the basis of viologen-CB7 binding interactions and its mode of interaction is different with longer chain viologens due to the favorable hydrophobic interactions between the terminal alkyl substituents and the inner cavity of the host.About:

The cucurbit[n]uril family
TL;DR: In 1981, the macrocyclic methylene-bridged glycoluril hexamer (CB[6]) was dubbed "cucurbituril" by Mock and co-workers because of its resemblance to the most prominent member of the cucurbitaceae family of plants--the pumpkin.

Cucurbituril chemistry: a tale of supramolecular success
TL;DR: Cucurbit[n]urils have become key units in various self-organizing and stimulus-controlled assemblies, as well as in advanced materials and drug carriers.

TL;DR: This review serves to highlight the evolution of surface-functionalisation of SNPs with supermolecules and also with MIMs, the mechanisms through which controlled-release of cargo from mechanised SNPs occurs, and the results from the in vitro application of these mechanisation SNPs.

Mechanism of host-guest complexation by cucurbituril.
TL;DR: The factors affecting host-guest complexation between the molecular container compound cucurbit[6]uril (CB6) and various guests in aqueous solution are studied, and a detailed complexation mechanism in the presence of cations is derived.

Inclusion of methylviologen in cucurbit[7]uril
TL;DR: The electrochemical study reveals that unlike β-cyclodextrin, CB[7] prefers the charged species, MV dication, and cation radical (MV+⋅) to the fully reduced neutral species as guests.

Cucurbit[7]uril: A Very Effective Host for Viologens and Their Cation Radicals
TL;DR: The rate of the heterogeneous electron-transfer reaction between the complexed viologen dication and cation radical remained fast in the voltammetric time scale and the binding constants were measured.
