Abstract
Cucurbit[n]urils (Q[n]s) are a relatively young family of macrocycles, consisting of glycoluril units bridged by methylene groups, and their unique structures have attracted extensive attention from chemists in recent decades. Due to the presence of a rigid hydrophobic inner cavity and two polar outer portals lined with carbonyl groups, Q[n]s not only encapsulate guest species into the cavity, but also coordinate with metal ions/clusters. Considerable achievements have been obtained in the fields of Q[n]s-based host-guest chemistry, coordination chemistry, as well as the combination of host-guest and coordination chemistry. Furthermore, the outer surface of Q[n]s has been demonstrated to be capable of interacting with definite species to generate supramolecular architectures in recent years. With more in-depth research into Q[n]s, their application studies have also emerged as a hot topic. This Minireview focuses on recent advances in the potential applications of solid-state materials based on Q[n]s and their derivatives for the capture and adsorption of hazardous chemicals from a solution or a gas mixture.

Abstract
Cucurbit[n]uril chemistry has become an important part of contemporary supramolecular chemistry since cucurbit[n]urils (Q[n]s) are not only able to encapsulate various guests, but are also capable of coordinating to a wide range of metal ions, leading to the establishment of Q[n]-based host-guest chemistry and coordination chemistry. Each of these impressive developments can be attributed to the growth of protocols for obtaining Q[n]s. In this review, we survey synthetic procedures for obtaining cucurbit[n]urils and their substituted derivatives together with the separation and purification of these remarkable compounds. The coverage is aimed at both existing workers in the field as well as at those requiring an "entry" into Q[n]-based research.

Abstract
The interactions between a series of lanthanide cations (Ln3+ ) and methyl-substituted cucurbiturils (SPMeQ[5] and SHMeQ[6]) derived from a 3α-methyl glycoluril have been investigated. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that both SPMeQ[5] and SHMeQ[6] selectively interact with certain lanthanide ions. SPMeQ[5] forms coordination capsules in the presence of [CdCl4 ]2- . The Ln3+ cations that interact are the four light lanthanides, La3+ , Ce3+ , Pr3+ , and Nd3+ , whereas the remaining lanthanide cations remain in solution. SHMeQ[6] formed adducts of SHMeQ[6] with aqua complexes of lanthanide cations ([Ln(H2 O)8 ]3+ ); for SHMeQ[6]-Ln(NO3 )3 -CdCl2 -HCl systems (Ln=Gd-Lu), no solid crystals were obtained from systems that contained La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, or Eu. Whereas solid crystals of adducts of SHMeQ[6] with aqua complexes of lanthanide cations (Ln=Sm-Lu) formed SHMeQ[6]-Ln(NO3 )3 systems in neutral solution, no solid crystals were obtained from systems that contained La, Ce, Pr, or Nd. These results suggest that SPMeQ[5]- and SHMeQ[6]-Ln(NO3 )3 systems could be useful for the selective isolation of these lighter or heavier lanthanide cations from mixtures. Energy-dispersive spectrometry indicated that the lighter or heavier lanthanide cations could be isolated from their heavier or lighter counterparts through interaction with SPMeQ[5] and SHMeQ[6].
