Journal Article
Hu, J. H., Yu, Z. C., Zhang, J. Y., Liu, Z. N., Hou, R. X., Xiong, Y., …Xiao, X. (2023). Supramolecular self-assembly between symmetric tetramethyl cucurbit[6]uril and dimethylphenylpiperazine hydrochloride. Polyhedron, 230, Article 116241. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.poly.2022.116241

The interaction between symmetric tetramethyl cucurbit[6]uril (TMeQ[6]) and 2,3-dimethylphenylpiperazine hydrochloride (PMY) has been studied in the presence of [CdCl4]2-. Each port of the TMeQ[6] is connected to PMY through weak interactions such as...

Host-guest inclusion complexes formed between a symmetrical tetrasubstituted cucurbit[6]uril and glycine (2022)
Journal Article
Yuan, S. W., Shan, P. H., Yang, M. X., Yang, M. X., Ma, P. H., Prior, T. J., …Xiao, X. (2022). Host-guest inclusion complexes formed between a symmetrical tetrasubstituted cucurbit[6]uril and glycine. CrystEngComm, https://doi.org/10.1039/d2ce01308h

Herein, we have investigated the host-guest inclusion complexes formed on interaction of the symmetric tetramethyl-substituted cucurbit[6]uril (TMeQ[6]) with glycine (Gly) under different conditions. The interactions have been studied both in solutio... Read More about Host-guest inclusion complexes formed between a symmetrical tetrasubstituted cucurbit[6]uril and glycine.
