Macrocyclic arenes including calixarenes, resorcinarenes, cyclotriveratrylene, pillararenes
and so on have emerged as highly attractive synthetic macrocyclic hosts due to their unique …

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 …

Conspectus Macrocyclic chemistry has relied on the dominance of some key cavitands,
including cyclodextrins, calixarenes, cyclophanes, and cucurbiturils, to advance the field of …

Macrocycles denoted as saucer [n] arenes (n= 4, 5) were easily synthesized by the one‐pot
condensation of 2, 7‐dimethoxynaphthalene (2, 7‐DMN) and paraformaldehyde in the …

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

Synthetic macrocyclic receptors generally display unique geometries, preorganized cavities,
and tunable binding affinities, which facilitate their application in numerous fields including …

Abstract Tiara [5] arenes (T [5] s), a new class of five‐fold symmetric oligophenolic
macrocycles that are not accessible from the addition of formaldehyde to phenol, were …

Inspired by the lock and key principle, the development of supramolecular macrocyclic
chemistry has promoted the prosperous growth of host-guest chemistry. The updated …

To design and exploit novel macrocyclic synthetic receptors is a permanent and challenging
topic in supramolecular chemistry. Here we describe the one-pot synthesis, unique …
