Cucurbiturils, tetrahedral capsules, and porous systems: synthesis, functionalization, and applications
Taking a cue from the principles developed by the founding fathers of supramolecular chemistry, the PhD program consists of four lines of research that develop in a multidisciplinary plan starting from alternative and more environmentally friendly synthesis methodologies. During the first year a …

The stereochemistry of selected supramolecular complexes of cucurbiturils and the effect of homogeneous equilibria and electron transfer of the guest
… This dissertation examines the interactions of cucurbiturils as barrel-shaped hosts, exhibiting a hydrophobic cavity, with substituted benzoylpyrydinium, phenypyrylium, and diazaanthraquinonediium cations as guests. In water, N-methyl-4-(p-substituted benzoyl)pyridinium cations exist in …

Characterization of Cucurbituril Complex Ions in the Gas Phase Using Electrospray Ionization Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry
… structures available in a range of sizes, cucurbiturils have been ideal prototypical host molecules in host-guest chemistry since they were characterized in 1980s. Recent research in my group has shown cucurbiturils can form various complexes with positive ions in the gas phase, such as …

Supramolecular Chemistry at the Polymer-Oil Interface
… binding site, binding in cucurbiturils via halogen bonding was investigated as common halogen bonding species show good solubility in non-polar solvents. Initially co-crystals of 2,5-diiodo-1,3,4,6-tetrafluorobenzene with tertiary amides were studied. With …

Study of ternary complexes of cucurbit[8]uril and their applications in self diagnostic composites
… properties for specific applications. The cucurbiturils are one such class of receptors that have garnered increasing interest in the last decade due to their unique guest binding abilities. Cucurbit[8]uril, as one of the larger homologues, is a particularly appealing host molecule for …
