Among the Q[n] complexes, those formed by direct coordination between Q[n]s and metal ions are particularly important. The direct coordination of metal ions to cucurbit[n]urils leads to the formation of Q[n]-based molecular capsules, tubular polymers and molecular bracelets, which could have nanoscale applications in drug delivery, molecular devices and new materials.展开更多
