Abstract
Cucurbit[n]urils (CB[n]s) have been recognized for their chemical and thermal stability, and their ability to bind many neutral and cationic guest molecules makes them excellent hosts in a range of supramolecular applications. In drug delivery, CB[n]s can enhance drug solubility, improve chemical and physical drug stability, and allow for triggered and controlled release. This study aimed to investigate the ability of CB[7] and CB[8] as molecular hosts to bind ruthenium(II) arene complexes that are current anticancer lead structures in the area of metallodrugs. Both, experimental and computational methods, led to insights into the binding preferences and geometries of [RuII(cym)Cl2]2 (1; cym = η6-p-cymene), [RuII(cym)(dmb)Cl2]) (2; cym = η6-p-cymene; dmb = 1,3-dimethylbenzimidazol-2-ylidene), and [RuII(cym)(pta)Cl2] (3, RAPTA-C; cym = η6-p-cymene; pta = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phospha-adamantane) with CB[7] and CB[8]. Competition experiments by mass spectrometry revealed clear preferences of 2 for CB[8] and 3 for CB[7]. Based on a comparison of the associated interaction energies from quantum chemical calculations as well as experimental data, 3@CB[7] clearly prefers a binding mode, where the pta ligand is located inside the cavity of the host, and the metal ion interacts with two of the carbonyl groups on the rim of CB[7]. In contrast, complex 2 binds in two different orientations with interaction energies similar to those of both CB[n]s, with the cym ligand being either inside or outside of the cavity. These findings suggest that ruthenium(II) arene complexes are able to form stable host-guest interactions with CB[n]s, which can be exploited as drug delivery vehicles in further metallodrug development to improve their chemical stability.

Abstract
ConspectusMagnetic resonance techniques represent a fundamental class of spectroscopic methods used in physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) is an extremely powerful technique for characterizing systems with an open-shell electronic nature, whereas nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has traditionally been used to investigate diamagnetic (closed-shell) systems. However, these two techniques are tightly connected by the electron-nucleus hyperfine interaction operating in paramagnetic (open-shell) systems. Hyperfine interaction of the nuclear spin with unpaired electron(s) induces large temperature-dependent shifts of nuclear resonance frequencies that are designated as hyperfine NMR shifts (δHF).Three fundamental physical mechanisms shape the total hyperfine interaction: Fermi-contact, paramagnetic spin-orbit, and spin-dipolar. The corresponding hyperfine NMR contributions can be interpreted in terms of through-bond and through-space effects. In this Account, we provide an elemental theory behind the hyperfine interaction and NMR shifts and describe recent progress in understanding the structural and electronic principles underlying individual hyperfine terms.The Fermi-contact (FC) mechanism reflects the propagation of electron-spin density throughout the molecule and is proportional to the spin density at the nuclear position. As the imbalance in spin density can be thought of as originating at the paramagnetic metal center and being propagated to the observed nucleus via chemical bonds, FC is an excellent indicator of the bond character. The paramagnetic spin-orbit (PSO) mechanism originates in the orbital current density generated by the spin-orbit coupling interaction at the metal center. The PSO mechanism of the ligand NMR shift then reflects the transmission of the spin polarization through bonds, similar to the FC mechanism, but it also makes a substantial through-space contribution in long-range situations. In contrast, the spin-dipolar (SD) mechanism is relatively unimportant at short-range with significant spin polarization on the spectator atom. The PSO and SD mechanisms combine at long-range to form the so-called pseudocontact shift, traditionally used as a structural and dynamics probe in paramagnetic NMR (pNMR). Note that the PSO and SD terms both contribute to the isotropic NMR shift only at the relativistic spin-orbit level of theory.We demonstrate the advantages of calculating and analyzing the NMR shifts at relativistic two- and four-component levels of theory and present analytical tools and approaches based on perturbation theory. We show that paramagnetic NMR effects can be interpreted by spin-delocalization and spin-polarization mechanisms related to chemical bond concepts of electron conjugation in π-space and hyperconjugation in σ-space in the framework of the molecular orbital (MO) theory. Further, we discuss the effects of environment (supramolecular interactions, solvent, and crystal packing) and demonstrate applications of hyperfine shifts in determining the structure of paramagnetic Ru(III) compounds and their supramolecular host-guest complexes with macrocycles.In conclusion, we provide a short overview of possible pNMR applications in the analysis of spectra and electronic structure and perspectives in this field for a general chemical audience.

Abstract
In recent decades, transition-metal coordination compounds have been extensively studied for their antitumor and antimetastatic activities. In this work, we synthesized a set of symmetric and asymmetric Ru(III) and Rh(III) coordination compounds of the general structure (Na+/K+/PPh4+/LH+) [trans-MIIIL(eq)nL(ax)2]- (M = RuIII or RhIII; L(eq) = Cl, n = 4; L(eq) = ox, n = 2; L(ax) = 4-R-pyridine, R = CH3, H, C6H5, COOH, CF3, CN; L(ax) = DMSO-S) and systematically investigated their structure, stability, and NMR properties. 1H and 13C NMR spectra measured at various temperatures were used to break down the total NMR shifts into the orbital (temperature-independent) and hyperfine (temperature-dependent) contributions. The hyperfine NMR shifts for paramagnetic Ru(III) compounds were analyzed in detail using relativistic density functional theory (DFT). The effects of (i) the 4-R substituent of pyridine, (ii) the axial trans ligand L(ax), and (iii) the equatorial ligands L(eq) on the distribution of spin density reflected in the "through-bond" (contact) and the "through-space" (pseudocontact) contributions to the hyperfine NMR shifts of the individual atoms of the pyridine ligands are rationalized. Further, we demonstrate the large effects of the solvent on the hyperfine NMR shifts and discuss our observations in the general context of the paramagnetic NMR spectroscopy of transition-metal complexes.

Abstract
Platinum-based anticancer drugs are actively developed utilizing lipophilic ligands or drug carriers for the efficient penetration of biomembranes, reduction of side effects, and tumor targeting. We report the development of a supramolecular host-guest system built on cationic platinum(II) compounds bearing ligands anchored in the cavity of the macrocyclic host. The host-guest binding and hydrolysis process on the platinum core were investigated in detail by using NMR, MS, X-ray diffraction, and relativistic DFT calculations. The encapsulation process in cucurbit[7]uril unequivocally promotes the stability of hydrolyzed dicationic cis-[PtII(NH3)2(H2O)(NH2-R)]2+ compared to its trans isomer. Biological screening on the ovarian cancer lines A2780 and A2780/CP shows time-dependent toxicity. Notably, the reported complex and its β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) assembly achieve the same cellular uptake as cisplatin and cisplatin@β-CD, respectively, while maintaining a significantly lower toxicity profile.

Abstract
Multitopic supramolecular guests with finely tuned affinities toward widely explored cucurbit[n]urils (CBs) and cyclodextrins (CDs) have been recently designed and tested as functional components of advanced supramolecular systems. We employed various spacers between the adamantane cage and a cationic moiety as a tool for tuning the binding strength toward CB7 to prepare a set of model guests with KCB7 and Kβ-CD values of (0.6-5.0) × 1010 M-1 and (0.6-2.6) × 106 M-1, respectively. These accessible adamantylphenyl-based binding motifs open a way toward supramolecular components with an outstanding affinity toward β-cyclodextrin. 1H NMR experiments performed in 30% CaCl2/D2O at 273 K along with molecular dynamics simulations allowed us to identify two arrangements of the guest@β-CD complexes. The approach, joining experimental and theoretical methods, provided a better understanding of the structure of cyclodextrin complexes and related molecular recognition, which is highly important for the rational design of drug delivery systems, molecular sensors and switches.
