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 …

Pillararenes are a unique group of supramolecular macrocycles, presenting important
features and potential applications on account of their intrinsic structural properties and …

Because of the importance of novel macrocycles in supramolecular science, interest in the
preparation of these substances has grown considerably. However, the discovery of a new …

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

The complexation between a water-soluble pillar [6] arene (WP6) and paraquat (G1) in
water was investigated. They could form a stable 1: 1 [2] pseudorotaxane with an extremely …

Hydrazide-appended pillar [5] arene derivatives have been synthesized. X-ray crystal
structure analysis and 1H NMR studies revealed that the molecules adopt unique tubular …

Pillar [n] arenes are a novel class of macrocyclic hosts reported by Ogoshi and co-workers in
2008. Because of their rigid pillar structures, interesting host–guest properties and ease of …

An efficient synthetic route to an A1/A2-difunctionalized pillar [5] arene containing resolvable
planar chirality has been developed and the arene employed as a strut in the synthesis of …

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 …
