They have been used for a wide range of applications, including drug delivery, molecular switches, catalysis, and polymers, to name a few. Herein, we first present a CB[8]-based chemosensor that can encapsulate an auxiliary probe to perform hydrocarbon recognition. This insightful study revealed the role of usually neglected weak forces like CH-π interactions in the formation of inclusion complexes. The CB[8] macrocycle was also exploited to synthesize a dynamic dimer of platinum terpyridyl chloride, which is then used as a photocatalyst for water splitting. Using CB[8] successfully increased the catalytic efficiency and provided mechanistic insight into this complex process. At last, we assessed the self-assembling behavior of dibenzyl ammoniums with CB[8]. The impact of quadrupole-quadrupole interactions between the benzyl groups and the desolvation of these groups on guest encapsulation and binding affinities were analyzed thoroughly, both experimentally and in silico. 2021-06-03 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1617370414505626 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1617370414505626 restricted--full text unavailable until 2022-05-01 This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
