Since the structure of the cucurbituril (Q [6]), a cyclic oligomer of 6 units of glycoluril linked by 12 methylene bridges, was first determined by Mock and co-workers in 1981,[1] a series of its homologues and derivatives have been reported over the last three decades. The homologues (for example Q [5], Q [7], and Q [8]) were discovered by Day and Kim in 2000,[2] and cucurbit [10] uril (Q [10]), which includes a Q [5] molecule, was reported by Day in 2002.[3] The perhydroxylated (HO) 2nQ [n] species were synthesized by direct oxidation of Q [n] species with K2S2O8 and realized direct functionalization of the Q [n] species.[4] In recent years, Isaacs and co-workers reported the preparation of a series of oligomers of glycoluril [5] and cucurbit [n] uril derivatives with novel structures, such as the inverted cucurbit-[6] uril and inverted cucurbit [7] uril (iQ [6] and iQ [7]),[6] the chiral norseco-cucurbituril (Æ)-bis-ns-Q [6],[7] and the nor-seco-cucurbit [10] uril (ns-Q [10]), which results from formal extrusion of two CH2 bridges from Q [10].[8] These new cucurbit [n] urils have inspired further intense interest in the chemistry of the enlarged cucurbit [n] uril family.[9] Interestingly, Q [n](n> 10) was identified in reaction mixtures,[10] and these species have only been indicated in calculations by using the density functional theory.[11] Although Miyahara and co-workers have reported a large hemicucurbit [12] uril,[12] this does not show typical Q [n] properties.Herein, we report a new member of the cucurbit [n] uril family, which we name tQ [14]. It is the largest cucurbit [n] uril with 14 normal glycoluril units linked by 28 methylene bridges. However, it consists of 14 units of the-glycoluril-(CH2) 2-moiety with a 3608 twist. As a consequence, it does not have a normal cavity like the most cucubit [n] urils, and has
