A cucurbit[8]uril inclusion complex with 1,7-dimethyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane tetrachloride

Abstract

The 1 : 1 inclusion complex between cucurbit[8]uril and protonated 1,7-dimethyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane tetrahydrochloride was prepared. Its structure was characterized using NMR and single crystal X-ray diffraction. This new macrocycle complex shows a beautiful sexfoil packing structure, very different from that of the free cucurbit[8]uril, which is perfectly aligned. A higher inclination angle of about 78° 15′ is observed between the two macrocycle planes.
