Dynamic Self-Assembly Adhesion of a Paraquat Droplet on a Pillar[5]arene Surface

A new synthetic method for non-symmetric pillar[5]arenes with simple isolation and improved yield

We developed a new synthetic method for non-symmetric pillar[n]arenes, which has improved yield and simple isolation.

Supramolecular polymersomes constructed from water-soluble pillar[5]arene and cationic poly(glutamamide)s and their applications in targeted anticancer drug delivery

Supramolecular polymersomes were successfully constructed using water-soluble pillar[5]arene and cationic poly(glutamamide)s for targeted anticancer drug delivery.

Highly efficient complexation of sanguinarine alkaloid by carboxylatopillar[6]arene: pKa shift, increased solubility and enhanced antibacterial activity

Efficient complexation of sanguinarine by carboxylatopillar[6]arene. The pK_a shift, increased solubility, and enhanced antibacterial activity are described.

A pillar[5]arene based gel from a low-molecular-weight gelator for sustained dye release in water

A soft gel based on pillar[5]arene was successfully prepared using a carbazone reaction.

Cu(II) Ion-Responsive Self-Assembly Based on a Water-Soluble Pillar[5]arene and a Rhodamine B-Containing Amphiphile in Aqueous Media

Cu(II) ion-responsive self-assembly in aqueous media was achieved based on a water-soluble pillar[5]arene host and a rhodamine B-containing amphiphile guest. The host-guest complex acted as a supra-amphiphile and self-assembled into vesicles. After addition of Cu(II), vesicles turned into solid nanoparticles, accompanied by the color change of the solution from colorless to red and a fluorescence "on" phenomenon.
