Cucurbit [n] urils (Q [n] s or CB [n] s), as a classical of artificial organic macrocyclic hosts,
were found to have excellent advantages in the fabricating of tunable and smart organic …

The product of the condensation reaction between glycoluril and formaldehyde was first
reported in a thesis by Eberhard Meyer in 1904 (1) and then published by Behrend and co …

Noble metal nanoparticles (NMNPs), which spring up like mushrooms, are gaining
momentum owing to their unique physicochemical characteristics. Cucurbiturils, a class of …

Nanotheranostics, which combines optical multiplexed disease detection with therapeutic
