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 …

There is great need for stand-alone luminescence-based chemosensors that exemplify
selectivity, sensitivity, and applicability and that overcome the challenges that arise from …

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 …

Conspectus Porous materials with high surface areas have drawn more and more attention
in recent years because of their wide applications in physical adsorption and energy …

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 …

Although chiral mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) have been synthesised and
studied, enantiopure examples are relatively under-represented in the pantheon of reported …

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 …

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 …
