Description:
Cucurbituril-based Function Materials provides an overview of this fascinating macrocycle, cucurbituril (CB) homologues and derivatives-based supramolecular nanostructured materials.
Brief description: Dönüs Tuncel received her PhD degree from Imperial College, London in the area of cucurbiturils and supramolecular polymer chemistry and then, worked about 3 years as a postdoctoral research fellow in the Chemistry Department of Oxford University in the area of 2D-fluorescent polymer networks and polymeric nanotubes. In 2003, she joined the Department of Chemistry at Bilkent University. Her research involves the design and synthesis of cucurbituril-based supramolecular nanostructured materials and functional organic and hybrid organic-inorganic nanomaterials and the exploitation of these materials in the optoelectronic and biomedical applications. She is a fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry.
