| Abstract | This review article provides an account on the supramolecular pK $_{a}$ shifts of cucurbit[7]uril-based assemblies of three chromophoric dyes, coumarin 6, Hoechst 33258 and neutral red. Since cucurbituril macrocycles act as cation-receptors due to the presence of two identical negatively polarized carbonyl portals, they preferentially encapsulate the protonated dye/drug over their unprotonated forms, resulting in pronounced pK $_{a}$ shifts of the guest molecules, as large as ~5.2 units. Since the stability and activity of dyes/drugs are often linked to their protonation state, the supramolecular encapsulation by CB7 and the resulting pK $_{a}$ shifts can be rationally exploited to activate drug molecules through thermal/metal ion-responsive pK $_{a}$ tuning, or photo-triggered pH-jump etc. This could act as a simple stimulus for the controlled dissociation of the complex and can make the active protonated/deprotonated form of the guest available for the desired effects. The detailed experimentation on the studied supramolecular host–guest assemblies involving the selected dyes, the associated pK $_{a}$ shifts and the stimuli-responsive pK $_{a}$ tuning, demonstrates their applications in the controlled uptake and release of drugs and photofunctional devices such as logic gates. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
