Summary: A novel pillar[5]arene-bridged monomer with TPE and nitrile group was synthesized and it formed supramolecular aggregates based on the host-guest interaction. The supramolecular aggregates exhibited significant aggregation-induced emission due to the restricted intramolecular rotation of the TPE core.

Summary: Fluorophores with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics have attracted attention for their sensitivity and photostability, and have been utilized for disease diagnosis and therapy. Host-guest chemistry is used to restrict the intramolecular rotation of AIE luminogens, enhancing their AIE effect. Supramolecular nanoparticles (SNPs) with high emission are prepared and used as fluorescent probes for living cell imaging, showing superior photostability.

Summary: Despite the breakthrough of immunotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors often have low response rate and resistance towards solid tumors. A hypoxic tumor microenvironment provides tumor cells with high concentrations of HIF-1 and polyamines to evade immune cell destruction. Reprogramming the immunogenic microenvironment has shown promising results in boosting immunotherapeutic performances.

Summary: This study introduces a stimuli-responsive invisible ink for time-dependent encryption of information, which displays time-dependent photochromic behavior with tailorable fading rates by controlling the density of host-guest crosslinks. Encryption security of information is achieved through selectively placing host and guest competitors and UV patterning, providing an initially false image that gradually reveals the encrypted data.

Summary: This study presented a highly selective and stable vapochromic system constructed by pillar[5]arene-based host-guest interactions, showing specific selective responsiveness to chloroform vapor. The material can maintain its color stably in air for at least two months, and thin film and LED responsive to CHCl3 vapor were successfully prepared as well.

Summary: The creation of chiral OMS nanochannels by introducing L-alanine-pillar[5]arene host in achiral OMS has shown excellent selectivity in separating racemic drugs with high reusability and stability. The enantioselective separation mechanism was identified as molecular-recognition-adsorbed transport. This work demonstrates the significant potential of chiral OMS nanochannels for enantioselective separation.

Summary: The star shape bridged pillar[5]arene trimer (C3-PLT) based on benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTAs) shows outstanding guest responsive morphology transition properties through the addition of competitive guest molecules G1 and G2, leading to the formation of different supramolecular structures.

Summary: Pillar[n]arenes typically form 1:1 host-guest complexes with guest molecules, but unique properties arise from the formation of new structures and the crystalline state. Cooperative binding of guest molecules to pillar[n]arene assemblies is crucial to achieve unique host-guest behavior. Moreover, planar chirality of pillar[n]arenes allows for chiral inversion, memory, and erasure, which is coupled with their host-guest properties. In this review, the diversity, functionality, and supramolecular chirality of host-guest pillar[n]arene assemblies are discussed.

Summary: In this study, light-responsive nanochannels were constructed by introducing azobenzene light switches and pillar[6]arene into artificial nanochannels, allowing effective regulation of protein transport under UV and visible light. This provides a convenient theoretical model for biological research and a crucial technology for light-controlled release of protein drugs.

Summary: The macrocyclic compounds pillararene and cucurbituril have attracted significant attention recently. However, there is limited research on the direct formation of supramolecular complexes with derivatized pillararenes and cucurbiturils. In this study, a novel naphthalene-derivatized pillararene NTP5 was synthesized and Q[10] was chosen as the host molecule. The encapsulation of 4-[2-(1-naphthalenyl)ethenyl]pyridine by Q[10] formed a host-guest complex in water-acetic acid solution, resulting in enhanced fluorescence and a morphological change in NTP5. Furthermore, the fluorescence of Q[10]-NTP5 could be quenched by the highly toxic pesticide paraquat through the formation of a new charge transfer ternary system. This work provides new insights into the supramolecular assemblies based on derivatized pillararenes and their potential applications.

Summary: Two cross-linked supramolecular polymers were prepared using the molecular recognition of pillar[5]arene and the coordination/oxidation of catechol. Additionally, two supramolecular glues were obtained at high concentrations of the cross-linked supramolecular polymers. Both glues exhibited thermo-responsiveness, while only one showed pH-responsiveness due to the unique characteristic of the catechol-Fe3+ coordination complex. This work will aid in the design and preparation of catechol-based supramolecular biomimetic materials and promote the development of functional cross-linked supramolecular polymers.
