• exploited to complex various hydrophobic guests such as proteins, dyes and anti tumor drugs [17][18][19][20][21][22]. Inclusion complexes with, e.g., adamantane derivates, are relatively stable due to their high binding constants [23][24]. These kinds of supramolecular complexes become less stable under

• '-dimethoxybiphenyl-2,2'-diamine was treated with adamantane-2-carbonyl chloride in the presence of Et3N at room temperature (25 °C) in DCM to afford the corresponding amide (S)-1c in 71% yield. According to the synthetic method for the synthesis of compound (S)-6a, NHC–Au complex (S)-6c was successfully prepared in

The research was, furthermore, sparked by the discovery that numerous poly-azaheterocyclic adamantane derivatives show antiviral

• intermolecular electrostatic repulsion. Accordingly, the hydrodynamic diameter of 4 decreased in NaOH solution from 150 nm to 9.0 nm, which can actually be attributed to the existence of trimers. Host–guest complexion of 4 and 5 An adamantane containing copolymer 5 was prepared via free radical polymerization of

• 6-acrylamido-N-adamantyl-hexane amide and NIPAAM. Copolymer 5 was mixed with 4 subsequently (Scheme 2) to form supermolecular structures. The hydrodynamic diameter of copolymer 5 increased from 8.5 nm to 53 nm after addition of 4. This clearly indicates the inclusion of a polymer attached adamantane

• moiety into the cavity of CD. The adamantane moiety is known to be one of the best guest molecules for β-CD [15]. A relatively high complex stability constant for a polymer attached adamantane groups with CD is about 5000 M−1 [16]. Therefore, as shown in Scheme 2, compound 4 obviously is expected to act

• cyclodextrin (Figure 3c). In addition, when potassium 1-adamantane carboxylate was added as a guest molecule, which competes with the complexed homopolymer solution, the polymer precipitated due to the hydrophobic character of the uncomplexed ferrocene. This uncomplexed polyvinylferrocene was investigated by

• complexation with cyclodextrin. The strong polymer-CD complex obtained remained unchanged up to about 90 °C. The removal of cyclodextrin by the addition of a competing guest, potassium 1-adamantane carboxylate, was demonstrated. Additionally, the polymer shows redox behavior even in the presence of the
