Abstract
The most probable structures of the cucurbit[6]uril·H3O+ and cucurbit[6]uril·(H3O+)2 cationic complex species have been derived by quantum mechanical DFT calculations. In these two complexes, each of the H3O+ ions is bound by three strong linear hydrogen bonds to three carbonyl oxygen atoms of the parent macrocycle.
