The self-assembly of cucurbit[7]uril (Q7) with o -carborane ( 1 ) produces a molecular ball bearing nanostructure ( 2 ). While investigating the possible role of o -carborane as a template for the controlled synthesis of Q7, new synthetic reaction conditions were discovered. Both the solvent and the reaction temperature had a marked effect on the relative percentages of cucurbit[ n ]uril ( n = 5, 6, 7, 8) produced. The effect of the o -carborane in the reaction mixture is discussed.
