报告摘要：

　　Cucurbiturils are macrocyclic host molecules or so-called molecular container compounds. This means that these molecules have an inner cavity which is sufficiently large to encapsulate in their interior smaller guest molecules. They have taken over a leading position in the development of supramolecular chemistry, because they provide a playground for the detailed investigation of intermolecular interactions. Their inner cavity has even been considered by Cram as a “new phase of matter”. Of particular interest are water-soluble macrocycles such as cucurbiturils because the resulting host-guest complexes are very tight due to the hydrophobic effect, and because the reactions inside their cavities are biomimetic in a stricter sense. We will provide an overview of our research in the area of molecular container compounds, with a focus on cucurbiturils as one of the most fascinating representatives.
