Xenon–cucurbituril binding: The smallest member of the cucurbituril family is able to slowly trap xenon in water even at room temperature with quite a high binding constant. At higher temperatures, the binding is weaker and the exchange kinetics higher, inducing potential applications for the reversible trapping of gases.
