Kinetic trapping of the host–guest association intermediate and its transformation into a thermodynamic inclusion complex

Abstract

The molecular recognition and self-assembly between host cucurbit[6]uril and guest adrenaline led to kinetic trapping and crystallization of the intermediate exclusion complex, which was characterized by X-ray diffraction. The crystalline kinetic complex undergoes slow spontaneous dissolution and subsequently recrystallizes as a thermodynamic inclusion complex.
