The binding behavior of three different methyl‐substituted cucurbit[6]urils (SQ[6]s), namely hexamethylcucurbit[3,3]uril (Me6Q[3,3]), tri‐hydroxylated symmetrical hexamethylcucurbit[3,3]uril ((OH)3Me6Q[3,3]), and symmetrical tetramethylcucurbit[6]uril (TMeQ[6]) with trans‐4‐[4‐(dimethylamino)styryl]‐1‐methylpyridinium iodide (t‐DSMI) have been investigated. The results showed that the guest t‐DSMI exhibits dramatic fluorescence enhancement upon interacting with the three SQ[6]s to form 1 : 1 inclusion complexes. Upon addition of lanthanide metal cations to the three t‐DSMI@SQ[6] probes, the fluorescence of the guest was quenched to varying degrees. On this basis, it is possible to discriminate lanthanide metal cations with different ionic radii by principal component analysis (PCA).
