Upon mixing of aqueous solutions of the freely soluble building blocks cucurbit[7]uril (Q[7]) and 4-sulfocalix[4]arene (SC[4]A), white microcrystals instantly separate in near-quantitative yield. The driving force for this assembly is suggested to be the outer-surface interaction of the Q[ n ]. Dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, and NMR (diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy) analyses have confirmed the supramolecular aggregation of Q[7] and SC[4]A. Titration 1 H NMR spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry have shown that the interaction ratio of Q[7] and SC[4]A is close to 3:1. Moreover, the Q[7]/SC[4]A-based supramolecular assembly can accommodate molecules of some volatile compounds or luminescent dyes. Thus, this work offers a simple and highly efficient means of preparing adsorbent or solid fluorescent materials.
