| Deep cavity cavitands (DCC) possess a binding cavity which has been shown to be an effective host for a number of guest molecules; both in organic solvents and in water (see schematic). The self-assembly of the cavitand to a capsule was observed in aqueous solution and studies are continuing within our group to investigate the properties of the encapsulated guest species. The research presented here describes: 1) modifications made to the cavitand ‘coat' to enhance water solubility, and 2) the synthesis of long-chain, thiol-appended DCCs and complementary guests, towards complex assemblies of gold nano-objects.
