Mono-benzimidazole functionalized β-cyclodextrins as supramolecular nanovalves for pH-triggered release of p-coumaric acid†
Abstract
The self-complexation of mono-benzimidazole functionalized β-cyclodextrins was investigated. The unique molecular structure employed as supramolecular nanovalves were installed on the external surface of mesoporous silica to assemble mechanized silica nanoparticles, which showed pH-triggered release property.
