Syntheses, crystal structures and properties of self-assembly supramolecular compound based on cucurbit[6]uril

A novel cucurbit[6]uril-based compound was synthesized by the solvothermal reaction in the presence of INA− as a structure-directing agent. The luminescence properties of CCUT-101 in different solvent emulsions were investigated. The luminescence changes in different solvent emulsions suggested that it is possible to sense different solvents.
