Since their discovery in 2008, pillar [n] arenes have been a popular family of macrocyclic
arene hosts due to their accessible one-step synthesis, convenient functionalization …

Herein, two new classes of macrocyclic compounds, terphen [n] arenes (TPns)(n= 3–6) and
quaterphen [n] arenes (QPns)(n= 3–6), were designed and synthesized by a one‐step …

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

During the last half a century, great achievements have been made in molecular recognition
in parallel with the invention of numerous synthetic receptors. However, the selective …

Here we developed a novel CO2-responsive pillararene-based molecular recognition motif
established from a water-soluble pillar [5] arene and an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl …

The anion-π interaction, a non-covalent attractive force between hosts (electron-deficient
arenes) and guests (anions) besides having many turns and surprises has recently turned …

Dynamic covalent chemistry, with its ability to correct synthetic dead-ends, allows for the
synthesis of elaborate extended network materials in high yields. However, the limited …
