Abstract: The present disclosure provide processes of separating aromatic isomers; liquid-liquid extraction systems and processes; liquid-liquid extraction solvents; cucurbituril macrocycle selective for the extraction of aromatic isomers; related materials, methods, and systems; and the like. The process of separating aromatic isomers may include contacting an isomers solution including one or more aromatic isomers, with an aqueous solution including a cucurbituril macrocycle, to produce a first aqueous phase and a first organic phase, wherein the cucurbituril macrocycle is selective for the extraction of at least one of said aromatic isomers.
