Journal Article
Wu, H., Zhao, J., Yang, X. N., Yang, D., Chen, L. X., Redshaw, C., …Xiao, X. (2022). A cucurbit[8]uril-based probe for the detection of the pesticide tricyclazole. Dyes and pigments : an international journal, 199, Article 110076. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dyepig.2021.110076

A system comprising cucurbit[8]uril (Q[8]) and a fluorescent molecule (E)-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-(4-hydroxystyryl)pyridin-1-ium bromide (HPy) has been utilized to construct a fluorescent probe that is capable of detecting the pesticide tricyclazole (TC...

Encapsulation of l-valine, d-leucine and d-methionine by cucurbit[8]uril (2022)
Journal Article
Zhang, Z. H., Lin, R. L., Yu, X. Y., Chen, L. X., Tao, Z., Xiao, X., …Liu, J. X. (2022). Encapsulation of l-valine, d-leucine and d-methionine by cucurbit[8]uril. CrystEngComm, 24(5), 1035-1040. https://doi.org/10.1039/d1ce01513c

The binding interactions of cucurbit[8]uril (Q[8]) with L-valine, D-leucine, and D-methionine, both in aqueous solution and solid state, have been studied by 1H NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. 1H NMR data indicate that Q[8] can encapsulat...
