Cucurbit[8]uril (as low as 10 mol%) acts as a supramolecular catalytic nanoreaction vessel and facilitates the photodimerization of coumarins in water leading to syn dimers. Saturation kinetics shows a sigmoidal dependence with a turnover number of 3.4 min(-1) and a

Fourier transform-infrared (4000-400 cm-1) and Raman (3500-50 cm-1) spectral measurements have been made for 6-methyl-4-bromomethylcoumarin. Equilibrium structures, harmonic vibrational frequencies, infrared intensities, and depolarization ratios have been computed at RHF/6-31G* and B3LYP/6-31G* levels of theory. Twisting CH2Br moiety in the

The mechanism of coumarin-induced hepatotoxicity in the rat has been investigated by comparing the effects of coumarin with those of three coumarin derivatives, namely 3,4-dihydrocoumarin (DHC), 3,4-dimethylcoumarin (3,4-DMC) and 6-methylcoumarin (6-MC). Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed either control diet or

The reconstituted human epidermis model SkinEthic was used to evaluate the phototoxicity of topically applied chemicals. For comparison with published data, we first tested a library of 13 nonphototoxic (NPT) and phototoxic (PT) compounds, applied onto SkinEthic reconstituted human epidermal

Guest induced shape change of the cucurbit[8]uril cavity is likely rate limiting in the supramolecular photocatalytic cycle for CB8 mediated photodimerization of 6-methylcoumarin.
