摘要
The [CdCl_4]^（2-） anion as a structure inducer has proved to be useful in the construction of cucurbit[n]urilmetal coordination architectures and materials. In order to better understand the role and influence of the structure inducer in Q[n] systems, we report herein the self-assembly of Q[6] solely in the presence of[CdCl_4]^（2-）anions and in the presence of both a linear cationic organic guest and [CdCl_4]^（2-）anions. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that 1D Q[6] porous channels were formed by the noncovalent interactions between Q[6] and [CdCl_4]^（2-）anions, but the ＇＇honeycomb effect＇＇ was not observed in the present study.However, it seems that the ＇＇honeycomb effect＇＇ and the self-assembly of Q[6] with [CdCl_4]^（2-）anions can be significantly modified and switched in the presence of a linear cationic dibutylamine guest through some unusual noncovalent interactions.
