A technique to produce thin cucurbit[6]uril films

J Nanosci Nanotechnol. 2008 Jan;8(1):432-5. doi: 10.1166/jnn.2008.051.

Abstract

We report a methodology to obtain thin films of cucurbit[6]uril, starting from ammoniacal solutions. This technique is very useful for the obtention of modified electrodes or other substrates for sensor purposes. Cucurbit[6]uril is insoluble in most media, and film formation was impossible until now.
