Sensor arrays are a powerful tool for multianalyte sensing and the development of an
efficient sensor array has become one of the most intriguing problems. However, sensor …

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 …

This review discusses the design and syntheses of molecular-scale pillar [n] arene-based
porous materials with promising applications and summarises the development of using …

Pillararenes, as a new type of macrocyclic hosts, possess columnar structures and electron-
rich cavities. Pillararenes not only recognize suitable cations, but also bind many neutral …

Selective binding towards metal ions has gained significant attention due to the roles this
phenomenon plays in diverse fields including biological metabolism, hydrometallurgy …

Pillar [n] arene is a novel kind of synthetic supramolecular macrocyclic host characterized by
its particular pillar-shaped structure consisting of an electron-rich cavity and two finely …

In this work, a new phenazine-based derivative (L-1) which based on 2, 3-diamino-
phenazine and 5-(4-chlorphenyl)-2-furaldehyde was designed to act efficiently in a …

A novel L-tryptophan (L-Trp) fluorescent sensor (BTAP5) based on a functionalized pillar [5]
arene has been developed. The sensor BTAP5 exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity …
