Construction of cucurbit[n]uril-based supramolecular frameworks via host–guest inclusion and functional properties thereof

Abstract

Frameworks utilizing cucurbit[n]uril-based chemistry build on the rapid developments in the fields of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent-organic frameworks (COFs), and supramolecular organic frameworks (SOFs), and as porous materials have found...

Stimuli-responsive mechanically interlocked molecules constructed from cucurbit[n]uril homologues and derivatives

“…154 Importantly, Huang, Yang and others have reported that MIMs and supramolecular polymers based on Q[n]s can be envisioned in practical applications such as pharmaceutical science [155][156][157] and functional material science. [158][159][160][161][162][163][164][165][166][167][168][169]…”

Recent progress on the construction of supramolecular organic frameworks based on macrocyclic hosts

“…By rational design of the ligands, SOFs not only can exhibit good structural periodicity, but also show broad applications in sensing, separation and environmental fields. 76,77…”

4,4′-Biphenyldisulfonic acid induced coordination polymers of symmetrical tetramethyl cucurbit[6]uril with alkaline-earth metals for detection of antibiotics

“…In the course of our ongoing studies on Q[n]-based coordination polymers, we have been interested in Q[n] derivatives and new types of organic aromatic molecules containing different functionality. 26 Symmetrical tetramethylcucurbit [6]uril (TMeQ [6]), a derivative of Q [6], possesses an ellipsoidal hydrophobic cavity and exhibits moderate solubility in aqueous media. 21 4,4′-Biphenyldisulfonic acid (H 2 BPDS) is an organic aromatic molecule with two sulfonic groups located at its ends.…”
