Abstract

This is the first time that cucurbit[7]uril and cucurbit[8]uril have been demonstrated to serve as synthetic receptors for a halonium guest species, diphenyleneiodonium, modulating its bioactivities and alleviating its cardiotoxicity, which further expands the onium family of guest molecules for the cucurbit[n]uril family and provides new insights for halonium-cucurbit[n]uril host-guest chemistry and its potential applications in pharmaceutical chemistry.
