The chemical structures of PVBCB, VBCB and VBDADC are confirmed by ^1H NMR,^13C NMR spectra and elemental analysis. In VBCB, CB[6] is localized aliphatic group of the side chain and the molar ratio of CB[6] to VBDAC is 1：1 .展开更多

In hydrochloric acid, cucurbituril is the most soluble one, and cucurbituril is the least soluble one. There is no significant influence of alkaline metal ion on the solubility of cucurbiturils. The solubility of cucurbituril increases greatly in a SrCl2 solution. However, increase of weight of cucurbiturils suggest that cucurbiturils can catch Ba2+in a solution.展开更多

The cleavage mechanism was proposed that was a cooperation process of the CB[6] molecule and the vip BIMH molecule. In this mechanism, the protonated imidazole might bind DNA via the electrostatic interactions and the CB[6] glycoluril carbonyl oxygen atoms activated a water molecule to attack the phosphorus atom.展开更多
