Cucurbit [n] uril supramolecular chemistry has developed rapidly since 2001 when different
cucurbit [n] uril homologues (Q [n]) were successfully separated in pure form. The …

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 …

The interest in functional supramolecular systems for the design of innovative materials and
technologies, able to fundamentally change the world, is growing at a high pace. The huge …

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 development of supramolecular chemistry dates back to 1987 when Lehn, Cram, and
Pedersen won the Nobel Prize on account of their leading discoveries in the host–guest …

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 …

From motor proteins to molecular machines, supramolecular chemistry has been revealed
as a remarkable link to bridge the gap between biology, chemistry, and materials. Taking …

Tunable solid-state fluorescent materials are ideal for applications in security printing
technologies. A document possesses a high level of security if its encrypted information can …

Large protein-sized synthetic supramolecular architecture is rare and certainly has not yet
achieved the structural and functional complexity of biomolecules. As multiple, identical …

Macrocyclic hosts, such as cyclodextrins, calixarenes, cucurbiturils, and pillararenes, exhibit
unparalleled advantages in disease diagnosis and therapy over the past years by fully …
