title: A cucurbit[8]uril sponge.
abstract: This paper describes a convenient approach to quantitative removal of the synthetic host cucurbit[8]uril (Q8) from aqueous mixtures using a sepharose resin coated in memantine groups to selectively sequester Q8 in the presence of competing hosts and guests. The "Q8 sponge" can separate Q8 from Q6 and reverse the Q8-mediated dimerization of peptides.
