Covalent polymers connected by non-covalent interactions constitute a fascinating set of
materials known as supramolecular polymer networks (SPNs). A key feature of SPNs is that …

The emergence of aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) has significantly
stimulated the development of luminescent supramolecular materials because their strong …

Chromophores that exhibit aggregation‐induced emission (ie, aggregation‐induced
emission luminogens [AIEgens]) emit intense fluorescence in their aggregated states, but …

Pillar [n] arenes are pillar-shaped macrocyclic compounds owing to the methylene bridges
linking the para-positions of the units. Owing to their unique pillar-shaped structures, these …

Constructing multicolor photoluminescent materials with tunable properties is an attractive
research objective on account of their abundant applications in materials science and …

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 …

Light is of essential importance to the universe and humankind. Light has been, and
continues to be, one of the most fundamental and indispensable elements to life and society …

New strategies that can simultaneously detect and remove highly toxic environmental
pollutants such as heavy metal ions are still in urgent need. Herein, through supramolecular …

Severe disease and environmental pollution derived from heavy metal ions has become one
of the major problems in global public health. In particular, mercury (II) as one type of highly …

Self-assembly, which makes use of molecules rather than atomic units, offers a bottom-up
approach to the construction of new materials on multiple length scales.(1-9) By precisely …
