Chemical Structure and Surfactant Features of Mono-Allyloxylated cucurbit[7]uril (AO1CB[7])

Caption

A) and B) show the chemical structure of the AO1CB[7] molecule. C) After vigorous shaking of AO1CB[7] in water, the solution becomes cloudy and foam forms on top, meaning that AO1CB[7] behaves like a surfactant.
