Abstract
This review summarizes recent work on the chemistry of inclusion complexes formed between redox active guests and cucurbit [n]uril hosts. The large majority of the surveyed research concerns the hosts cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) and cucurbit[8]uril (CB8), while the guests are 4,4-bipyridinium (viologen) and ferrocene derivatives. The work includes dendronized guests, in which a guest residue is attached to a dendron in such a way that host-guest binding interactions are still possible. The main focus of the review is on the electrochemical behavior of the included guests. In general terms complexation by CB7 has a more pronounced effect on the ferrocene derivatives, giving rise to a measurable attenuation of the electrochemical kinetics. In contrast to this, the electrochemical kinetics of the viologen derivatives remains fast (in the voltammetric time scale, with scan rates up to 2 V s-1) upon inclusion complexation by CB7. The larger cavity host CB8 is extremely effective at mediating the redox-driven self-assembly of dendronized viologens.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
