Disassembly temperatures (T1/2) for the 16 nanocubes with or without guests
| Nanocube | Total guest volume (Å3) | T1/2a (°C) | Formation ratio (6[guest(s)@16]/[1]) at 150 °C |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 6 | 0 | 130 | – |
| PC@16 | 248 | 140 | – |
| DU2@16 | 348 | 145 | – |
| DF@16 | 407 | >150b | 2 |
| TBM2@16 | 440 | >150b | 4 |
| PE2@16 | 508 | 143 | – |
aT1/2 is the temperature at which half of the nanocubes are disassembled into the monomers determined by variable temperature 1H NMR spectroscopy ([1]total = 1.0 mM, D2O, in a sealed pressure tube)
bThe exact T1/2 could not be determined because of the temperature limit of the instrument
