Disclosed herein is a composition for removing odor, the composition including cucurbituril. The composition can capture and remove various kinds of odor materials (particularly, ammonium ion-containing bad odor, such as a fishy smell or the like) because cucurbituril can interact with various odor materials using its hydrophobic cavity and both inlets covered with carbonyl groups. Therefore, this composition can be practically applied to the cleaning of air and the improvement of an environment.

Composition for odor removal comprising cucurbituril

Provided are processes of preparing glycolurils and cucurbiturils using the glycolurils by microwave irradiation. Therefore, condensation and cyclization reactions for preparation of industrially widely applied cucurbituril derivatives, oxidation reaction for preparation of hydroxycucurbiturils, and condensation and cyclization reactions between glycolurils and paraformaldehyde or a formaldehyde solution can be efficiently performed in a short time.

Processes of preparing glycolurils and cucurbiturils using microwave

The present disclosure provides a cucurbituril derivative-bonded solid substrate in which cucurbituril derivatives of Formula 1 are covalently bonded to a modified solid substrate of Formula 2. The cucurbituril derivative provides functional groups which can be used to link biomaterials to the substrate. Protein chips, gene chips, and sensors for biomaterial assays having the cucurbituril derivative-bonded solid substrate are also provided.
