This book shows the various porous structures and supramolecular architectures that result from the cucurbituril-based coordination, hydrogen bonding, ion-dipole interactions, stacking and CH processes. It includes two chapters presenting essential examples of these cucurbituril-based structures, depending on the types of non covalent interactions and inducer species. It also includes one chapter dealing with the utilization of cucurbiturils as a molecular container in supramolecular chemistry and demonstrating a wide range of potential applications of supramolecular assemblies with cucurbiturils in catalysis, separation, absorption and polymer materials. The book offers an interesting and valuable guide for readers working in the areas of supramolecular chemistry and materials.

Presents the concepts and mechanisms of the outer-surface interactions of cucurbiturils Introduces various strategies for forming the outer-surface interactions of cucurbiturils Provides an overview of the developments and practical applications of cucurbituril-based coordination architectures and materials Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
