Cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8])-mediated complexation of a dicationic azobenzene in water allows for the light-controlled encapsulation of a variety of second guest compounds, including amino acids, dyes, and fragrance molecules. Such controlled guest sequestration inside the cavity of CB[8] enables the regulation of the thermally induced phase transition of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) which is not photosensitivethus demonstrating the robustness and relevancy of the light-regulated CB[8] complexation.

, p. 1905 - 1909 (2007/10/02)
A water-soluble, photoresponsive macrocycle (1), composed of two N+ cations and two azobenzene units, has been synthesized.This cyclophane changes ist cavity shape in response to a photoinduced trans-cis isomerization of the azobenzene moieties
