Two new twisted cucurbiturils, cucurbit[13]uril (tQ[13]) and cucurbit[15]uril (tQ[15]), have been synthesized and separated, and their structures have been confirmed by NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry together with the X-ray structures of two new complexes, {Dy(H2O)4Cd(H2O)4tQ[13]}·2.5[CdCl4]·65H2O and {Cd0.5(H2O)2tQ[15]}·[CdCl4]·47H2O. tQ[15] is the largest cucurbit[n]uril (Q[n]) in the Q[n] family reported to date. The X-ray diffraction studies of both complexes indicated that these large tQ[n]s effectively exhibit two different cavities-a central cavity and two side cavities. Preliminary host-guest behavior by each of the new systems was investigated by NMR studies.

Potassium ferricyanide in an aqueous solution is easily decomposed into highly toxic substances (potassium cyanide and hydrogen cyanide) by light or alkaline action, which poses a major hazard to environmental and human health. Here, a reticulated aggregation-induced emission (AIE) supramolecular polymer material (TPAP-Mb@Q[14]) was prepared by the supramolecular self-assembly of twisted cucurbit[14]uril (Q[14]) and a triphenylamine derivative (TPAP-Mb). TPAP-Mb@Q[14] not only recognizes Fe(CN) with sensitive specificity with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.

Relying on the supramolecular self-assembly of twisted cucurbit[14]urils (Q[14]), anthracene derivatives (ADPy), Nile red (NiR), and rhodamine B (RB), highly efficient light-harvesting systems have been successfully designed in an aqueous medium. The addition of Q[14] causes ADPy to aggregate through supramolecular self-assembly to form a supramolecular polymer (ADPy@Q[14]) with excellent aggregation-induced fluorescence and an interesting spherical external morphology, making it a remarkable energy donor. Consequently, efficient energy-transfer processes have occurred between ADPy@Q[14] assembly and NiR and RB, which both serve as effective energy acceptors while being loaded onto ADPy@Q[14].
