Key points
- Cucurbiturils (CBs) are macrocyclic hosts with well-defined cavities that exhibit strong binding affinities for various guest molecules.
- Molecular recognition by CBs is driven by hydrophobic interactions within the cavity and hydrogen bonding involving the carbonyl groups on the rim.
- CBs can encapsulate a broad spectrum of guests, including neutral organic molecules, ions, and even peptides and proteins.
- The unique binding properties of CBs enable their use in supramolecular chemistry, drug delivery, sensing, and catalysis.
