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

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

The generally small Gibbs free energy difference between the Z and E isomers of hydrazone
photoswitches has so far precluded their use in photon energy storing applications. Here …

Anthracene crude oil is a common source of phenanthrene for its industrial use. The
isolation of phenanthrene from this source is a challenging task due to very similar physical …

An orthogonal strategy was utilized for synthesizing a novel water-soluble pillar [5] arene (m-
TPEWP5) with tetraphenylethene-functionalized on the bridged methylene group (meso …

The manipulation of molecular motions to construct highly ordered supramolecular
architectures from chaos in the solid state is considered to be far more complex and …

The specific recognition and separation of alkanes with similar molecular structures and
close boiling points face significant scientific challenges and industrial demands. Here …

A rich variety of smart materials developed via supramolecular assembly strategies have
been introduced in the past decades. However, most materials reside in the thermodynamic …

Supramolecular chemistry has received much attention for decades. Macrocyclic
architectures as representative receptors play a vital role in supramolecular chemistry and …

Supramolecular polymer networks (SPNs) possess abundant stimuli-responsive properties
due to their reversible non-covalent assembly features, and could be used to build various …
