In the past few decades, macrocycles with different structures and functions have played a
crucial role in supramolecular chemistry. Due to its symmetrical structure, simple synthesis …

Photosynthetic organisms are crucial for life as they convert solar energy into chemical
energy, enabling the production of biomass including food and feed on Earth. Scientists …

Although the chemistry of macrocyclic arenes has seen rapid development in recent years,
the synthesis of new macrocyclic arenes from aromatic rings with no directing groups …

Pillar [n] arenes can be constructed using a Friedel–Crafts alkylation process. However, due
to the reversible nature of the alkylation, mixture of large pillar [n] arenes (n≥ 7) are …

Efficient energy transfer is ubiquitous in natural light-harvesting systems (LHSs), which has
inspired humans to develop various carrier platforms and energy transfer strategies to mimic …

A novel artificial light-harvesting system, featuring sequential energy transfer processes, has
been successfully constructed, which demonstrated white light emission through a precise …

Pillar [n] arenes usually form 1: 1 host–guest complexes with guest molecules. However,
unique host–guest properties appear by the formation of new structures, such as tubular …

In the past half-century, macrocycles with different structures and functions, have played a
critical role in supramolecular chemistry. Two macrocyclic moieties can be linked to form …

Within supramolecular chemistry, pillararenes have distinguished themselves from other
synthetic host molecules by their straightforward synthesis, symmetry, electron-rich cavity …

Supramolecular chemistry enables the manipulation of functional components on a
molecular scale, facilitating a “bottom-up” approach to govern the sizes and structures of …
