Unprecedented host-induced intramolecular charge-transfer complex formation.
For the first time, host-induced intramolecular charge-transfer complex formation in a guest containing both an electron donor and an electron acceptor is demonstrated in the cucurbit[8]uril cavity, leading to unusual back-folding of the guest molecule.
