摘要

Cucurbitnurils (CBn) are a new class of macrocyclic cage compounds capable of binding organic and inorganic species, owing to their unique pumpkin like structure comprising of both a hydrophobic cavity and a hydrophilic portal. The thermodynamics of the complexation of Eu(III) with CBn of a different cavity size viz. cucurbit5uril (CB5) and cucurbit7uril (CB7) has been studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy and calorimetry at 25 degrees C whereas the structure of the complexes was investigated using time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy (TRFS) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS) in a formic acid-water mixture (50 wt). This is the first report on the structural investigation of Eu-CBn complexes in solution. The thermodynamic data (Delta G, Delta H and Delta S) for Eu(III) complexation with CBn reveal the formation of a 1:1 complex with CB5, while both 1:1 and 1:2 complexes are observed with CB7. The signatures of these species are observed in ESI-MS measurements, which corroborates with the species postulated in thermodynamic studies. The complexation reactions are found to be driven by Delta S as Delta H is either small negative or positive indicating the formation of inner sphere complexes, which is in line with TRFS and EXAFS results. These studies show that Eu(III) caps one of the CB5 portals by binding with all the carbonyl groups in the 1:1 Eu-CB5 complex, whereas in the 1:1 Eu-CB7 complex, Eu(III) interacts with only a few of the carbonyl groups of CB7. The computational studies (DFT calculations) on Eu-CB5 and Eu-CB7 complexes further support the experimental data.
