Regulating photochromic behavior of a cyanostilbene by cucurbit[<i>n</i>]uril hosts in aqueous solution
The effects of cucurbit[<i>n</i>]uril (CB[<i>n</i>]) hosts on the photochromic behaviors of a cyanostilbene derivative (1-Z) are reported. We find that CB[7] favors the <i>Z</i> to <i>E</i> isomerization and CB[8] inhibits the photoreaction of 1-Z. Interestingly, CB[10] induces an emission color change by encapsulating the photodimer of 1-Z in its cavity during irradiation.
