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 …

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 …

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 …

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

A new family of discrete hexakis-pillar [5] arene metallacycles with different sizes have been
successfully prepared via coordination-driven self-assembly, which presented very few …

Pillar [n] arenes (P [n] As) and their derivatives, consisting of (substituted) hydroquinone
units linked by methylene bridges at para-positions, are new type of cyclophane hosts …

Here we report the unprecedented preparation of nanoparticles with near-infrared (NIR)
emission enhanced by host–guest complexation between a water-soluble pillar [5] arene …

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 …

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 …

Pillar [n] arenes, which we first synthesized and named in 2008, are new pillar-shaped
macrocyclic hosts. Pillar [n] arene homologues with n= 5–10 have already been …
