Pillararene-Cucurbituril: A Hybrid of Pillararenes and Cucurbiturils

Key Points

• The research aims to explore the binding capabilities of hybrid pillararene-cucurbituril systems using postmodification techniques.
• Synthesis of hydroxypillararene-cucurbituril and allylpillararene-cucurbituril using 1,4-dimethoxybenzene moieties.
• Verification of host-guest binding ability through methyl viologen encapsulation.
• Successful synthesis of hybrid systems confirmed by encapsulation studies.
• Demonstrated enhanced binding properties of the synthesized compounds.
