Chlorine Anion Encapsulation by Molecular Capsules Based on Cucurbit[5]uril and Decamethylcucurbit[5]uril

Three barrel-shaped artificial molecular capsules 1-3, based on normal cucurbit[5]uril (Q[5]) and decamethylcucurbit[5]uril (Me10Q[5]), were synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Encapsulation of a chlorine anion in the cavity of a Q[5] or Me10Q[5] to form c...
