AdipoGen Cucurbit6uril hydrate

Chemical. CAS 80262-44-8. Formula C36H36N24O12. MW 996.84. Cucurbit6uril hydrate belongs to the Cucurbitnuril CBn, n = 5-10 family of macrocyclic compounds comprising n glycoluril units, self-assembled from an acid-catalyzed condensation reaction of glycoluril and formaldehyde. The pumpkin-shaped CB molecules have a hydrophobic cavity and two identical carbonyllaced portals. While the hydrophobic interior provides a potential inclusion site for nonpolar molecules, the polar ureido carbonyl groups at the portals allow CBn to bind ions and molecules through charge-dipole and hydrogen bonding interactions. The unique structure and recognition properties make CBn attractive not only as a synthetic receptor but also as a building block for the construction of supramolecular architectures.
