Abstract

A large set of commercially available amino compounds were assessed toward binding with cucurbit[10]uril (CB[10] ), with the purpose of facilitating the isolation of pure CB[10]. We found that the addition of a specific guest into a relevant mixture of CB[n] allowed the displacement of CB[5] from CB[10]·CB[5]. Subsequent washing of the resulting precipitate-CB[10]·Gn (G=guest) with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), enabled to get pure CB[10] in a facile and highly efficient way.
