Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Cucurbit[8]uril Binding</bold> In their Communication on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 225 ff., </ext-link> J. Fraser Stoddart and co‐workers show that the dimethyldiazaperopyrenium dication, prepared in three steps from a pigment used in car paint, behaves as both a viologen‐like electron‐poor and an electron‐rich guest, resulting in the formation of a 1:2 complex with cucurbit[8]uril. The inside cover image, produced by Aleksandr Bosoy, illustrates that, upon formation of this 1:2 complex, an increase in the fluorescence quantum yield occurs compared to that observed for the dication on its own.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1v5z8qds" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
