Abstract:

The self-assemblied binding modes of cucurbit[6]uril(Q[6]) with 2,2'-(octane-1,8-diyl)dibenzimidazolium dichloride(SBO) was investigated by means of 1H NMR, fluorescence emission and UV-Vis spectra. The experiment results revealed that the host Q[6] prefered to including the aromatic benzoimidazolyl moieties of the protonated SBO at a lower molar ratio of Q[6] to guest less than 1 in water medium, at higher molar ratios of Q[6] to guest or in water medium, a chain shape guest could be borne two Q[6] molecules and form a dumbbell shape inclusion complex. The study may provide information in drug delivery, designment of molecular knots, machines and switches.

Key words: Cucurbit[6]uril, 2,2'-(Octane-1,8-diyl)dibenzimidazolium dichloride, Self-assemblied binding mode
