Abstract
The exploitation of new materials for adsorptive separation of industrially important hydrocarbons is of great importance in both scientific research and petrochemical industry. Nonporous adaptive crystals (NACs) as a robust class of synthetic materials have drawn much attention during the past five years for their superior performance in adsorption and separation. Pillararenes are the main family of macrocyclic arenes used for NACs construction, where the structure-function relationship has been intensively studied. In the past two years, some emerging types of synthetic macrocyclic arenes have been successfully brought into this research field, showing the gradual enrichment and diversification of NACs materials. This Minireview summarizes the recent advances of synthetic macrocycle-based NACs, which are categorized by various practical applications in molecular separation. Besides, NACs-based vapochromic supramolecular systems are also discussed. Finally, future perspectives and challenges of NACs are given. We envisage that this Minireview will be a useful and timely reference for those who are interested in new molecular and supramolecular crystals for storage and separation applications.

Abstract
Macrocycles play a crucial role in supramolecular chemistry and the family of macrocyclic arenes represents one of the most important types of hosts. Among them, calixarenes, resorcinarenes and pillararenes are the most commonly encountered macrocyclic arenes, and they have received considerable attention. Boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes are fascinating compounds with multiple functionalization sites and outstanding luminescence properties including high fluorescence quantum yields, large molar absorption coefficients and remarkable photo- and chemical stability. The combination of macrocyclic arenes and BODIPY dyes has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy to construct chemosensors for various guests and smart materials with tailored properties. Herein, we firstly summarize the recent advances made so far in macrocyclic arenes substituted with BODIPY. This review only focuses on the three macrocyclic arenes of calixarenes, resorcinarenes and pillararenes, as there are no other macrocyclic arenes substituted BODIPY units at the present time. Hopefully, this review will not only afford a guide and useful information for those who are interested in developing novel chemosensors and smart materials, but also inspire new opportunities in this field.

Abstract
A new type of macrocyclic arenes, named pagoda[4]arene (P4) and i-pagoda[4]arene (i-P4), were conveniently synthesized by the TFA-catalyzed one-pot condensation of 2,6-dimethoxylanthracene and paraformaldehyde in dichloromethane at room temperature. P4 and i-P4 showed unique square pagoda structures and fixed conformations in solution and also exhibited strong blue fluorescence. Moreover, P4 and i-P4 with deep and rich-electron cavities could not only encapsulate n-hexane and one or two dichloromethane molecules in the solid state but also showed strong binding abilities toward neutral dinitriles with different chain lengths and various nitrogen-containing heterocyclic salts to form 1:1 stable host-guest complexes in both solution and the solid state. In particular, it was also found that with the increase in the alkyl chain length of the dinitriles, the association constants for their complexes with both P4 and i-P4 were markedly increased from glutaronitrile to octanedinitrile as a result of the deep cavities of the macrocycles and multiple intermolecular interactions. Since P4 and i-P4 had stable planar chirality, their efficient resolutions were further achieved by HPLC with a chiral column. Interestingly, the two enantiomers showed mirror-imaged CD signals and excellent CPL properties, which could allow them to have potential applications in chiral luminescent materials.

Abstract
A multihydroquinone ether dialdehyde derivative 2 was incidentally obtained through an unexpected ring opening of pillar[4]arene[1]quinone 1. And the Prato reaction of 2 with [60]fullerene led to [60]fullerene bisadducts, from which trans-4 cyclic regioisomer 3 was isolated and characterized. The fulleropillar[4]arene 3 showed a larger cavity and can accommodate a viologen derivative C12V2+ with a much stronger affinity than permethyl pillar[5]arene (MP5) and pillar[4]arene[1]quinone 1.

Abstract
Tiara[5]arenes (T[5]s), a new class of five‐fold symmetric oligophenolic macrocycles that are not accessible from the addition of formaldehyde to phenol, were synthesized for the first time. These pillar[5]arene‐derived structures display both unique conformational freedom, differing from that of pillararenes, with a rich blend of solid‐state conformations and excellent host–guest interactions in solution. Finally we show how this novel macrocyclic scaffold can be functionalized in a variety of ways and used as functional crystalline materials to distinguish uniquely between benzene and cyclohexane.

Abstract
Using a series of isoreticular MOFs with void connections of varying diameters, the selective separation of benzene and cyclohexane in both liquid and vapor phases is shown. The driving force of the highly efficient adsorption process is the formation of weak interactions between the adsorbed benzene molecules and the host framework.
