Abstract:

Molecular motions are quite common in biosystems and closely related to macroscopic motions guest. In the present work, N,N'-bis(4-dimethylaminobenzyl)-decane-1,10-diamine(C10DA) with multiple binding sites was designed and synthesized, while the structures and interaction of cucurbit[7]uril with the guest were investigated by 1H NMR technique, electronic absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies in details. The experimental results showed that cucurbit[7]uril can include C10DA forming a pseudorotaxane inclusion complexes or dumbbell-shaped inclusion complexes by changing the molar ratio of the host and guest. This observation contributes to a deeper understanding in molecular recognition, design and construction of novel molecular machines.

Key words: Cucurbit[n]uril, Pseudorotaxane, Dumbbell inclusion complex, Supramolecular self-assembly
