  • for tumor cell-targeted drug delivery while sparing normal cells, an essential requirement for a more effective, safe, and precise medicine. Host–guest supramolecular complex and NO photorelease The NOPD 2 is totally insoluble in water. For sake of clarity, Figure 3A shows its absorption spectrum in
  • does not absorb green light (see Figure 3A) and, therefore, is unreactive to this excitation wavelength. However, irradiation of the 1·2 supramolecular complex leads to a photochemical transformation characterized by the increase of the typical absorption of the non-nitrosated derivative 2b (Figure 5A

A further example of a [2 + 1] cycloaddition on CNOs was reported by Kong et al., who used different nitrene derivatives to covalently functionalize pristine CNOs [33] (Scheme 6). The CNO starting material was reacted with either 2-azidoethanol
