Conspectus The development of new types of synthetic macrocyclic hosts is always one of
the most important and attractive topics in macrocyclic and supramolecular chemistry …

Macrocyclic host molecules play the central role in host–guest chemistry and
supramolecular chemistry. The highly structural symmetry of macrocyclic host molecules can …

Macrocyclic molecules contain rings made up of seven or more atoms. They are interesting
because they provide building blocks for synthesizing precise two or three dimensional …

There are a large number of synthetic macrocyclic receptors in the literature. No particular
one is suitable for all guests or purposes. For a broader guest binding scope or multiple …

We report the first example of a traceless directing group in a radical cascade. The chemo-
and regioselectivity of the initial attack in skipped oligoalkynes is controlled by propargyl OR …

A new class of macrocycles denoted as “xanthene [n] arenes” was synthesized. In contrast to
most other macrocycles, they feature a conformationally restricted bowl shape due to the …

Two new alkali metal monoalkyl-bisamido magnesiates, the potassium compound [KMg
(TMP) 2nBu] and its sodium congener [NaMg (TMP) 2nBu] have been synthesised in …

Au (I)-catalyzed cyclization of alkenyl carbonyl compounds leading to a variety of substituted
naphthalenes has been developed. This process exploits a dual function of the Au (I) …

A disposable screen-printed sensor has been crafted specifically for therapeutic drug
monitoring purposes, particularly for detecting ofloxacin in biological fluids. To enhance …

Synthetic macrocyclic receptors are the primary workhorses in supramolecular chemistry. In
particular, macrocyclic arenes are versatile receptors due to their special binding …
