Highly catalytic supramolecular host–guest complex for high value directional conversion of lignin to syringyl monomer

Inclusion and Non‐Inclusion Complexes between Curcumin and β‐Cyclodextrin with High‐Curcumin Loading and Enhanced Aqueous Solubility Obtained by Mechanochemistry

“…In the supramolecular chemistry field, [1] the host-guest complexes, also referred to as inclusion complexes (ICs) formed through non-covalent interactions, are one of the most simple but versatile supramolecular structures. ICs may find applications in catalysis, promoting highly selective and efficient reactions due to the confinement, [2] in sensing and detecting specific analytes for environmental monitoring, [3] or medical diagnostics, [4] in chiral recognition [5] or in sophisticated molecular switches and machines, taking advantage of reversible conformational changes upon certain stimuli to produce controlled movements with potential applications in nanotechnology and molecular computing. [6,7] Specifically in the nanomedicine field, the formation of ICs has become a pillar, modifying the physicochemical and spectroscopic properties of biologically active molecules as guests.…”
