Cyclodextrin-click-cucurbit[6]uril: Combi-Receptor for Supramolecular Polymer Systems in Water
We describe the synthesis of a combi-receptor via the click reaction of 61-azido-61-deoxycyclomaltoheptaose onto (propargyl-O)(6)cucurbit[6]uril under microwave-assisted conditions. The process was investigated by H-1 NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The ability of the synthesized compound to act as a molecular receptor and supramolecular building block in combination with NIPAM- and adamantane-containing methacrylates Was investigated by turbidity measurement and dynamic light scattering (DLS).
