CO₂-Responsive Pillar[5]arene-Based Molecular Recognition in Water: Establishment and Application in Gas-Controlled Self-Assembly and Release

Triple-stimuli-responsive nanocontainers assembled by water-soluble pillar[5]arene-based pseudorotaxanes for controlled release

Working mechanism of triple-stimuli-responsive nanocontainers: alkaline, acid and Zn²⁺ stimuli can open the advanced supramolecular nanovalves.

Efficient sensing of fluoride ions in water using a novel water soluble self-assembled supramolecular sensor based on pillar[5]arene

By rationally introducing competitive coordination, the supramolecular sensors could reversibly sense Fe³⁺ and F⁻ in water with high selectivity and sensitivity.

Stimuli-responsive polymersomes and nanoreactors

Macromolecular self-assembly is attracting increasing scientific interest in polymer science.

Multifunctional supramolecular vesicles based on the complex of ferrocenecarboxylic acid capped pillar[5]arene and a galactose derivative for targeted drug delivery

Supramolecular vesicles have been constructed based on the host–guest complexation, which show dual-responsiveness and cancer cells targetability.

Photo-powered stretchable nano-containers based on well-defined vesicles formed by an overcrowded alkene switch

A novel photo-responsive nano-container was successfully constructed based on well-defined vesicles formed by an amphiphilic overcrowded alkene switch.

Nanosupramolecular assembly of amphiphilic guest mediated by cucurbituril for doxorubicin delivery

A binary supramolecular nanoparticle was constructed through the complexation of cucurbit[6]uril with an amphiphilic polyamine by macrocycle-assisted aggregation strategy, which exhibited controlled drug loading and release behaviours.

Biodegradable containers composed of anionic liposomes and cationic polypeptide vesicles

An electrostatic complexation of liposomes, composed of mixture of anionic and zwitterionic lipids, with bilayer vesicles composed of cationic poly(l-lysine)-b-poly(l-leucine) polypeptides has been investigated.
