Abstract

Miniatur-Gasauffangbehälter mit Deckel: Salzfreies Decamethylcucurbit[5]uril(MeCuc5)-Pulver absorbiert selektiv N2, O2, Ar, N2O, NO, CO und CO2 bei Raumtemperatur, bei 110°C werden die Gase wieder desorbiert; der Vorgang lässt sich mehrfach wiederholen. Alle Edelgase von He bis Xe werden dagegen in Lösung in MeCuc5 eingeschlossen. Das Bild zeigt den Einschlusskomplex mit Xe.
