CB6

CB6 is an alphanumeric designation used across different domains, and it does not refer to a single, universally defined entity. Its meaning is dependent on context, and it may appear in science, industry, or documentation as an internal code or shorthand.

In science and chemistry, CB6 most often denotes cucurbit[6]uril, commonly written as CB[6] in scholarly literature and informally abbreviated as CB6. Cucurbit[6]uril is a macrocyclic molecule in the cucurbituril family with a rigid, barrel-like structure and carbonyl-laden portals. It possesses a hydrophobic cavity capable of hosting certain guest molecules, making it useful in host–guest chemistry, molecular recognition, and related research. Properties relevant to its use include cavity size, binding affinity, and solubility, which can be influenced by chemical substitutions. CB6 is typically studied and utilized in aqueous environments and in various sensing or delivery applications in laboratory settings.

Beyond chemistry, CB6 also appears as a product or model code in various industries, including electronics, automotive parts, and equipment catalogs. In these cases, the exact meaning of CB6 depends on the issuing company or catalog, and it is not inherently connected to the chemical CB6. Such usage reflects cataloging, versioning, or component identification rather than a shared scientific definition.
