Abstract

NMR spectroscopy and DFT modeling studies of chiral cyclohexanohemicucurbit[12]uril indicate that the macrocycle adopts a concave octagonal shape with two distinct conformational flexibilities in solution. Methylene bridge flipping occurs at temperatures above 265 K, while urea monomers rotate at temperatures above 308 K, resulting in the loss of confined space within the macrocycle.
