Abstract
Nitroxide free radicals are demonstrated to be useful guests for probing cucurbit[n]uril (CB[n]) assemblies in water by EPR spectroscopy. CB[7] and CB[8] significantly aggregate either in solution or in the solid state (as evidenced by a single-crystal X-ray structure in which CB[8] forms supramolecular triangles with 4-methoxy-TEMPO). The included nitroxides show a striking resistance to biologically relevant reduction, benefiting from the carcerand effect of CB[7] and CB[8] solutions.Entities:
