The history of isomeric types of organic molecules has passed through several important
stages:(1) Molecules that differ from each other with different numbers and types of atoms;(2) …

Because of the importance of novel macrocycles in supramolecular science, interest in the
preparation of these substances has grown considerably. However, the discovery of a new …

Anion− π interactions have been systematically studied using tetraoxacalix [2] arene [2]
triazine 1, an electron-deficient and cavity self-tunable macrocyclic host, as an electron …

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 …

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

Pedersen, Lehn, and Cram established supramolecular chemistry through their pioneering
work with crown ethers, cryptands, and spherands. Since then, the hallmark of …

Calixarenes are one of the macrocyclic receptors known to date besides crown ethers,
cyclodextrins, cryptands, and cucurbiturils. 1Ā3 These are synthesized from the base …

Synthetic macrocyclic receptors generally display unique geometries, preorganized cavities,
and tunable binding affinities, which facilitate their application in numerous fields including …

The complexation behavior of a series of paraquats (G1· 2PF6–G5· 2PF6) and bis
(pyridinium) derivatives (G6· 2PF6–G14· 2PF6) with pillar [5] arene (P5A) host has been …

The development of new classes of macrocyclic hosts has always been one of the most
important topics in supramolecular chemistry. During the past several years, based on the …
