Cucurbit[7]uril hydrate - Risk and Safety
Cucurbit[7]uril hydrate - Introduction
cucurbit(7)uril is a kind of urea compound, its molecular structure is a hollow gourd shape, composed of 7 urea rings. Cucurbituril has good stability and solubility in aqueous solution.
Cucurbituril has some unique properties that make it widely used in the chemical field. First, cucurbiturils can form stable host-guest complexes. Its large cavity structure can accommodate substances of various molecular sizes and chemical properties, forming clathrates. Therefore, cucurbituril can be used as a drug delivery system, separation and purification of target substances in analytical samples, catalyst carriers, etc.
The preparation of cucurbituril usually adopts chemical synthesis method. A common synthesis method is through two reactions of sodium carbonate and ammonium nitrate, and through a multi-step reaction fission reaction to produce cucurbituril. The detailed process of synthesis usually requires special experimental conditions and suitable catalysts.
Regarding the safety information of cucurbituril, no major hazards to humans or the environment have been found. However, as a compound that has not been widely used and studied, its safety and toxicity still need further evaluation and research. Use should comply with laboratory safety regulations, pay attention to avoid contact with skin, eyes and inhalation of its dust, avoid ingestion. During use and storage, it should be kept in a dry, dark place and isolated from other chemicals.
