“…The pioneering work of Buschmann et al has established equilibrium constants and in many cases the enthalpic (DH) and entropic (DS) contributions to DG for the binding of CB [6] to w-amino acids and w-amino alcohols, [97] aliphatic alcohols, acids, and nitriles, [73] bipyridine derivatives, [98] aromatic compounds, [99,100] non-ionic surfactants and poly(ethylene glycols), [101] cyclodextrins, [61] diamides, [102] and a-amino acids and dipeptides. [103] Analogous to CB [6]·M + complexes, the values of K a measured for the complexation of organic guests with CB [6] increase as the percentage of HCO 2 H decreases as a result of reduced competitive protonation of CB [6].…”

In 1981, the macrocyclic methylene-bridged glycoluril hexamer (CB[6]) was dubbed "cucurbituril" by Mock and co-workers because of its resemblance to the most prominent member of the cucurbitaceae family of plants--the pumpkin. In the intervening years, the fundamental binding properties of CB[6]-high affinity, highly selective, and constrictive binding interactions--have been delineated by the pioneering work of the research groups of Mock, Kim, and Buschmann, and has led to their applications in waste-water remediation, as artificial enzymes, and as molecular switches. More recently, the cucurbit[n]uril family has grown to include homologues (CB[5]-CB[10]), derivatives, congeners, and analogues whose sizes span and exceed the range available with the alpha-, beta-, and gamma-cyclodextrins. Their shapes, solubility, and chemical functionality may now be tailored by synthetic chemistry to play a central role in molecular recognition, self-assembly, and nanotechnology. This Review focuses on the synthesis, recognition properties, and applications of these unique macrocycles.

“…Thanks to their particular structure, CBn receptors can bind guests that contain cationic and nonpolar groups via ion‐dipole interactions with carbonyl groups and hydrophobic interactions within the cavity. Their recognition properties towards amino acids were first studied by Buschmann with cucurbit[6]uril leading to binding constants in the order of 1×10 3 to 5×10 3 M −1 for hydrophobic amino acids such as Gly, Val, Phe and Ala in 50% v/v formic acid . Macartney studied the binding of CB7 with several guests in water at neutral pH and found that this macrocycle forms strong complexes with a series of cationic cholines and some zwitterions like carnitine or phosphorylated choline .…”

Many biomolecules exist as internal ion pairs or zwitterions within a biologically relevant pH range. Despite their importance, the molecular recognition of this type of systems is specially challenging due to their strong solvation in aqueous media, and their trend to form folded or self‐assembled structures by pairing of charges of different sign. In this Minireview, we will discuss the molecular recognition of zwitterions using non‐natural, synthetic receptors. This contribution does not intend to make a full in‐depth revision of the existing research in the field, but a personal overview with selected representative examples from the recent literature.

“…Desta forma, os cucurbitandos são capazes de formar compostos de inclusão, complexos e adutos com uma enorme variedade de espécies quí-micas 35,36 . Podemos citar entre elas as aminas 12,14,34,[37][38][39] , compostos aromáticos 40,41 , heterocíclicos [42][43][44] , viologênios [44][45][46][47][48][49] , poliaminas, peptídios e aminoácidos [50][51][52] , álcoóis 50,53,54 , surfatantes 53,55 , tióis, gases como CO 2 , O 2 , Kr, N 2 e Xe 31,32,56-58 , metais, complexos e muitas outras, como corantes 59,60 e fármacos [59][60][61][62] (Tabela 2). Em termos de constantes de formação médias de caviplexos de CB [6] com um grande número de compostos, como álcoóis por exemplo, são geralmente uma ordem de grandeza superiores às obtidas com α-ciclodextrinas, mostrando que também exibem uma grande afinidade por moléculas neutras, além de maior seletividade por conta dos fatores mencionados anteriormente.…”

Recebido em 7/8/06; aceito em 9/11/06; publicado na web em 17/7/07 CUCURBITURILS. This review article describes the properties and the main applications of the glicol[n]urils. These compounds are cavitands made of n glycolurilic units arranged in circles, giving rise to extremely symmetric toroidal molecules. The cucurbit [n]urils create this way variable-sized hydrophobic cavities and the glycolurilic carbonyles delimit two portals on these cavities, slightly narrower than their internal radii. Their structure, physical and chemical properties favor the formation of inclusion compounds, and turn them into important building blocks for supramolecular chemistry and nanotechnology.Keywords: cucurbiturils; cucurbitands; inclusion compounds. INTRODUÇÃOAs cucurbiturilas foram sintetizadas pela primeira vez por Behrend e colaboradores 1 em 1905, como resultado da condensação da uréia e do glioxal, formando glicolurila e análogos poliméricos na presença de formaldeído. A tecnologia da época não permitiu uma caracterização inequívoca e a estrutura peculiar destes polímeros só foi elucidada pelo grupo de Mock, 80 anos mais tarde 2 . Pela primeira vez demonstrou-se que os cucurbitandos, outra designação desta família de compostos (abreviados também por CB[n]), eram estruturas cíclicas toroidais, compostas por 6 unidades de glicolurila, ligadas por grupos -CH 2 -em suas aminas de simetria D 6H (Figura 1).A nomenclatura oficial deste composto é complexa* e a sua forma de abóbora deu origem a seu nome, de cucurbita em latim (* segundo a IUPAC, o nome da cucurbit[6]urila ou CB[6] seria: dodecaidro-1H, 4H, 14H, 17H-2, 16:3, 15-dimetano-5H, 6H, 7H, 8H, 9H, 10H, 11H, 12H, 13H, 18H, 19H, 20H, 21H, 22H, 23H, 24H, 25H, 26H-2, 3-4a, 5a, 6a, 7a, 8a, 9a, 10a, 11a, 12a, 13a, 15, 16, 17a, 18a, 19a, 20a, 21a, 22a, 23a, 24a, 2 -3 -5a, 26a -tetracosaazabispentaleno[1''',6''':5'',6'',7'']cicloocta[1'', 2'', 3'':3', 4']pentaleno(1',6':5,6,7)cicloocta(1,2,3-gh:1',2',3'-g'h')cicloocta(1, 2, 3-cd:5, 6, 7-c'd')dipentaleno-1, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25-dodecona).Esta estrutura, além de ser simétrica, possui uma cavidade central hidrofóbica relativamente grande, que é capaz de acomodar espécies variadas para a formação de compostos de inclusão, também chamados de caviplexos, como o fazem outras famílias de cavitandos como as ciclodextrinas ou calixarenos. Na cucurbit[6]urila, existem 12 carbonilas orientadas para fora das cavidades, 6 de cada lado, formando assim dois portais para as cavidades, e conferindo à molé-cula um caráter básico de Lewis. Os métodos mais modernos de análise constataram que não eram formados apenas anéis de 6 membros nas sínteses de cucurbiturilas, mas que outros análogos cíclicos com 5 a 11 unidades glicolurílicas também eram formados durante as sínteses. Os recentes avanços em química orgânica sintética permitiram a elaboração de novas rotas, resultando em rendimentos diferenciados na produção destes homólogos. O maior controle sobre a distribuição dos produtos síntese tornou viável a síntese de CB [7] e ...
