Cucurbit[n]uril analogues

Org Lett. 2003 Oct 2;5(20):3745-7. doi: 10.1021/ol035468w.

Abstract

[structure: see text] Cucurbits come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors. We present a building block approach that allows the tailor-made synthesis of CB[5], CB[6], and CB[7] analogues whose sizes, shapes, and colors differ from those of the known CB[n].
