Abstract:
This paper has selected dicyclohexanocucurbit[6]uril (CyH2Q[6]) as the host and 2-phenylbenzimidazole (G) as the guest to investigate the host-guest interaction mode between CyH2Q[6] and G. Under acidic conditions, the complex was characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results show that the molecular ratio of CyH2Q[6] to G is 2 : 1. The crystals were cultured with ZnCl2 as a structural inducer under acidic conditions and single crystal X-ray diffraction showed that the molecular ratio of CyH2Q[6] to G is 1 : 3. The G@CyH2Q[6] was used as a fluorescent probe to identify metal cations. The probe exhibits a good selective recognition effect toward Fe3+ ions, which involves a reduced fluorescence intensity with a limit of detection of 1.321 × 10-6 mol l-1.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
