摘要

A new approach towards the rapid identification of quality binders to cucurbiturils-those that combine high affinity with high selectivity for a particular homologue-was developed. The assay exploits macrocycle-specific optical fingerprints (colorimetric or fluorimetric) of carefully selected indicators dyes. The screening of a guest library revealed known (e.g., adamantane derivatives) and new (e.g., terpenes) quality binders. The predictive power of the assay was underpinned by the modeling of the involved thermodynamic equilibria.
