title: Controlled catch and release of small molecules with cucurbit[6]uril via a kinetic trap.
abstract: For the first time a lid-free and charge-free inclusion complex with cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) has been isolated, the crystal structure is reported and the robust nature of the complex is demonstrated in the solid state while facile controlled release of the guest is achieved in solution.
