A cucurbit[8]uril-mediated host–guest complex for red-light photocatalysis

Abstract

A red light supramolecular photocatalytic system is developed by fabricating a cucurbit[8]uril-mediated 3:2 host-guest complex. Two-step host-guest complexation can be occurred between 4, 4'-(thiazolo[5, 4-d]thiazole-2, 5-diyl) bis (6-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-[1, 3-bipyridin]-1-ium) chloride...
