Macrocycles are molecular entities that display a combination of molecular recognition and
complexation properties with vital implications for host–guest/supramolecular chemistry …

In 2008, we reported a new class of pillar-shaped macrocyclic hosts, known as “pillar [n]
arenes”. Today, pillar [n] arenes are recognized as key players in supramolecular chemistry …

The development of supramolecular chemistry dates back to 1987 when Lehn, Cram, and
Pedersen won the Nobel Prize on account of their leading discoveries in the host–guest …

This review discusses the design and syntheses of molecular-scale pillar [n] arene-based
porous materials with promising applications and summarises the development of using …

Pillar [n] arenes are a new class of synthetic supramolecular macrocycles streamlined by
their particular pillar-shaped architecture which consists of an electron-rich cavity and two …

Chiral pillar [n] arenes have shown great research value and application prospect in
construction of chiral materials and chiral applications, due to their inherent planar chiral …

The macrocycle families: cucurbit [n] urils, n-cyclodextrins, calix [n] arenes, and pillar [n]
arenes (where n represents the number of subunits in each homologue) have shown …

Installation of various substituents is a reliable and versatile way to alter the properties of
macrocyclic molecules, but high-yield and controlled methods are not always available …

Owing to their unique one-dimensional hollow structures, organic nanotubes have been
widely explored in recent years. Covalent organic nanotubes (CONs) can be prepared by …

The development of an efficient synthetic route toward rim-differentiated C 5-symmetric pillar
[5] arenes (P [5] s), whose two rims are decorated with different chemical functionalities …
