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 design and synthesis of new synthetic macrocycles has driven the rapid development of
supramolecular chemistry and materials. Pillar [n] arenes, as a new type of macrocyclic …

We begin this review with an introduction to pillar [n] arenes by showing the research history
of macrocyclic compounds and the shape, chemical structure, host-guest properties …

Contributions featuring the chemistry and applications of a family of macrocyclic compounds
collectively known as' calixarenes' are presented in this edited volume. The arsenal of …

Conspectus For device miniaturization, nanotechnology follows either the “top-down”
approach scaling down existing larger-scale devices or the “bottom-up'approach …

Pillar [n] arenes (n= 5–15) are a novel class of macrocyclic molecules with hydroquinone as
the repeating unit linked by methylene bridges at para-positions. Introduced by T. Ogoshi for …

Conspectus Pillar [n] arenes (pillarenes for short) are a relatively new generation of
macrocyclic host compounds with rigid cylinder architectures containing several …

Low-density, solid-state, porous supramolecular organic frameworks are constructed using
pillarenes. The frameworks have a honeycomb-like structure, permanent porosity, high …

In this review, we highlight recent advancements on pillararene‐based assemblies. The
driving forces for the formation of the pillararene‐based assemblies are discussed first. The …

We report a new approach towards the design of multi-stimuli responsive “gated scaffolds”
based on the combination of capped metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and supramolecular …
