Abstract
The structural characterization is reported of the supra-molecular complex between the tetra-quinoxaline-based cavitand 2,8,14,20-tetra-hexyl-6,10:12,16:18,22:24,4-O,O'-tetra-kis-(quinoxaline-2,3-di-yl)calix[4]resorcinarene (QxCav) with benzo-nitrile. The complex, of general formula C84H80N8O8·2C7H5N, crystallizes in the space group P with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit, displaying very similar geometrical parameters. For each complex, one of the benzo-nitrile mol-ecules is engulfed inside the cavity, while the other is located among the alkyl legs at the lower rim. The host and the guests mainly inter-act through weak C-H⋯π, C-H⋯N and dispersion inter-actions. These inter-actions help to consolidate the formation of supra-molecular chains running along the crystallographic b-axis direction.

Abstract
A multi-responsive receptor consisting of two (acridinium-Zn(II) porphyrin) conjugates has been designed. The binding constant between this receptor and a ditopic guest has been modulated (i) upon addition of nucleophiles converting acridinium moieties into the non-aromatic acridane derivatives and (ii) upon oxidation of the porphyrin units. A total of eight states has been probed for this receptor resulting from the cascade of the recognition and responsive events. Moreover, the acridinium/acridane conversion leads to a significant change of the photophysical properties, switching from electron to energy transfer processes. Interestingly, for the bis(acridinium-Zn(II) porphyrin) receptor, charge-transfer luminescence in the near-infrared has been observed.

Abstract
Deep cavitands, concave molecular containers, represent an important supramolecular host class that has been explored for a variety of applications ranging from sensing, switching, purification and adsorption to catalysis. A major limitation in the field has been the cavitand volume that is restricted by the size of the structural platform utilized (diameter approx. 7 Å). We here report the synthesis of a novel, unprecedentedly large structural platform, named acridane[4]arene (diameter approx. 14 Å), suitable for the construction of cavitands with volumes of up to 814 Å3 . These megalo-cavitands serve as size-selective hosts for fullerenes with mM to sub-μM binding affinity for C60 and C70 . Furthermore, the selective binding of fullerene C70 in the presence of C60 was demonstrated.

Abstract
Herein, we report a series of azobenzene‐substituted triptycenes. In their design, these switching units were placed in close proximity, but electronically separated by a sp3 center. The azobenzene switches were prepared by Baeyer–Mills coupling as key step. The isomerization behavior was investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy, UV/Vis spectroscopy, and HPLC. It was shown that all azobenzene moieties are efficiently switchable. Despite the geometric decoupling of the chromophores, computational studies revealed excitonic coupling effects between the individual azobenzene units depending on the connectivity pattern due to the different transition dipole moments of the π→π* excitations. Transition probabilities for those excitations are slightly altered, which is also revealed in their absorption spectra. These insights provide new design parameters for combining multiple photoswitches in one molecule, which have high potential as energy or information storage systems, or, among others, in molecular machines and supramolecular chemistry.

Abstract
The removal of toxic and carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from water is one of the most intractable environmental problems nowadays, because of their resistance to remediation. This work introduces a highly efficient, regenerable membrane for the removal of PAHs from water, featuring excellent filter performance and pH-driven release, thanks to the integration of a cavitand receptor in electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers. The role of the cavitand receptor is to act as molecular gripper for the uptake/release of PAHs. To this purpose, the deep cavity cavitand BenzoQxCav is designed and synthetized and its molecular structure is elucidated via X-Ray diffraction. The removal efficiency of the new adsorbent material toward the 16 priority PAHs is demonstrated via GC-MS analyses at ng L-1 concentration. A removal efficiency in the 32%, to 99% range is obtained. The regeneration of the membrane is performed by exploiting the pH-driven conformational switching of the cavitand between the vase form, where the PAHs uptake takes place, to the kite one, where the PAHs release occurs. The absorbance and regeneration capability of the membrane are successfully tested in four uptake/release cycles and the morphological stability.

Abstract
A new strategy to create highly redox-responsive H-bond dimers based on proton-coupled electron transfer is proposed that capitalizes on the importance of secondary H-bonds in determining overall binding strength in H-bond dimers. Electron transfer induced proton transfer across a H-bond can be used to significantly strengthen the overall binding by both creating strong ionic H-bonds and changing the secondary H-bonds from unfavorable to favorable. The viability and potency of this approach are demonstrated with an electroactive DAD (A = H-acceptor, D = H-donor) array, H(MQ+)H, paired with an electroinactive ADA array, O(NH)O. NMR titration of H(MQ+)H with O(NH)O in 0.1 M NBu4PF6/CD2Cl2 gives a Kassoc of 500 M-1, typical of DAD-ADA dimers. However, upon two-electron reduction in 0.1 M NBu4PF6/CH2Cl2, cyclic voltammetry studies indicate a 1.8 × 105 increase in binding strength, corresponding to a very large Kassoc of 9 × 107 M-1. The latter value is typical of DDD-AAA H-bond dimers, consistent with proton transfer across the central H-bond upon reduction.

Abstract
Resorcin[4]arene cavitands, equipped with diverse quinone (Q) and [Ru(bpy)2 dppz]2+ (bpy=2,2'-bipyridine, dppz=dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine) photosensitizing walls in different configurations, were synthesized. Upon visible-light irradiation at 420 nm, electron transfer from the [Ru(bpy)2 dppz]2+ to the Q generates the semiquinone (SQ) radical anion, triggering a large conformational switching from a flat kite to a vase with a cavity for the encapsulation of small guests, such as cyclohexane and heteroalicyclic derivatives, in CD3 CN. Depending on the molecular design, the SQ radical anion can live for several minutes (≈10 min) and the vase can be generated in a secondary process without need for addition of a sacrificial electron donor to accumulate the SQ state. Switching can also be triggered by other stimuli, such as changes in solvent, host-guest complexation, and chemical and electrochemical processes. This comprehensive investigation benefits the development of stimuli-responsive nanodevices, such as light-activated molecular grippers.

Abstract
A novel macrocyclic host molecule was synthesized that forms in a single step from commercially available starting materials. The core of the macrocycle backbone possesses two quinone rings and, thus, it is redox-active. Host-guest binding involving the clip-shaped cavity indicates selective binding of pyridine N-oxides based on the electron density of and steric bulk around the anionic oxygen.

Abstract
The eligibility of tetraquinoxaline cavitands (QxCav) as molecular grippers relies on their unique conformational mobility between a closed (vase) and an open (kite) form, triggered in solution by conventional stimuli like pH, temperature and ion concentration. In the present paper, the mechanochemical conformational switching of ad hoc functionalized QxCav covalently embedded in an elastomeric polydimethylsiloxane and in a more rigid polyurethane matrix is investigated. The rigid polymer matrix is more effective in converting mechanical force into a conformational switch at the molecular level, provided that all four quinoxaline wings are covalently connected to the polymer.
