Abstract

Interaction of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) with a ditopic molecule having adamantane (AD) at one end and a pyromellitic diimide (PMDI) moiety at the other is studied. The AD moiety undergoes inclusion binding with the β-CD cavity, and the PMDI undergoes binding with the primary rim of β-CD. In an equimolar solution of β -CD and the ditopic molecule in water, β-CD accommodates both modes of complexation simultaneously, leading to the formation of long fibers. The fibers get entangled to give a supramolecular hydrogel with very high water content.
