Abstract
A series of pseudorotaxanes with supramolecular organometallic silver(I) and gold(I) pillarplexes acting as rings and different α,ω-dicarboxylic acids as axle components are reported. The successful formation of the host-guest complexes is shown by 1 H NMR spectroscopy and respective NMR titration. Additional evaluation with ITC titration experiments yielded dissociation constants (Kd ) ranging from 10-5 to 10-7 M. Single-crystal X-Ray diffraction analysis reveals a particularly exciting pore alignment of different examples in the solid state depending on the length of the guest. The work highlights, that dicarboxylic acids can penetrate the tight tubular pillarplex pore, paving the way to future mechanically interlocked molecules and materials.

Abstract
In the past two decades, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has become an effective method for the treatment of cancer. However, the posttreatment residue of photodynamic agents (PDAs) causes long-term skin phototoxicity. Here, we apply naphthalene-derived, box-like tetracationic cyclophanes, named NpBoxes, to bind to clinically used porphyrin-based PDAs to alleviate their posttreatment phototoxicity by reducing their free content in skin tissues and 1O2 quantum yield. We show that one of the cyclophanes, 2,6-NpBox, could include the PDAs to efficiently suppress their photosensitivity for the generation of reactive oxygen species. A tumour-bearing mouse model study revealed that, when Photofrin, the most widely used PDA in clinic, was administrated at a dose corresponding to the clinical one, 2,6-NpBox of the same dose could significantly suppress its posttreatment phototoxicity on the skin induced by simulated sunlight irradiation, without imposing a negative influence on its PDT efficacy.

Abstract
In the supramolecule area, the fabrication of a new concept called polyrotaxanes or poly-pseudo-rotaxanes remains challenging. We herein report the formation of a poly-pseudo-rotaxane in which the same salt-type guest serves both linking and threading in the resulting structure. The combination of A1/A2-thiopyridyl pillar[5]arene (L) and silver(I) trifluoroacetate in CHCl3/CH3OH afforded a one-dimensional (1D) poly-pseudo-rotaxane. In this structure, to our surprise, the AgCF3CO2 guest not only links the di-armed L ligands via an infinite -L-Ag-L-Ag- arrangement but also threads into a pillar[5]arene cavity in a dimer form, (AgCF3CO2)2. In contrast, the same reaction in CH2Cl2/CH3OH yielded a simple 1D coordination polymer because an included CH2Cl2 molecule in the pillar[5]arene cavity prevents the threading of the silver(I) trifluoroacetate guest. Comparative 1H- and 19F-NMR studies support the solvent-dependent poly-pseudo-rotaxane formation at a lower concentration of L.

Abstract
The tetracationic cyclophane, cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene), also known as the little blue box, constitutes a modular receptor that has facilitated the discovery of many host-guest complexes and mechanically interlocked molecules during the past 35 years. Its versatility in binding small π-donors in its tetracationic state, as well as forming trisradical tricationic complexes with viologen radical cations in its doubly reduced bisradical dicationic state, renders it valuable for the construction of various stimuli-responsive materials. Since the first reports in 1988, the little blue box has been featured in over 500 publications in the literature. All this research activity would not have been possible without the seminal contributions carried out by Siegfried Hünig, who not only pioneered the syntheses of viologen-containing cyclophanes, but also revealed their rich redox chemistry in addition to their ability to undergo intramolecular π-dimerization. This Review describes how his pioneering research led to the design and synthesis of the little blue box, and how this redox-active host evolved into the key component of molecular shuttles, switches, and machines.

Abstract
Rotaxanes are an emerging class of molecules composed of two building blocks: macrocycles and threads. Rotaxanes, and their pseudorotaxane and polyrotaxane relatives, serve as prototypes for molecular-level switches and machines and as components in materials like elastic polymers and 3D printing inks. The rigidity and flexibility of these molecules is a characteristic feature of their design. However, the mechanical properties of the assembled rotaxane and its components are rarely examined directly, and the translation of these properties from molecules to bulk materials is understudied. In this Review, we consider the mechanical properties of rotaxanes by making use of concepts borrowed from physical organic chemistry. Rigid molecules have fewer accessible conformations with higher energy barriers while flexible molecules have more accessible conformations and lower energy barriers. The macrocycles and threads become rigidified when threaded together as rotaxanes in which the formation of intermolecular interactions and increased steric contacts collectively reduce the conformational space and raise barriers. Conversely, rotational and translational isomerism in rotaxanes adds novel modes of flexibility. We find that rigidification in rotaxanes is almost universal, but novel degrees of flexibility can be introduced. Both have roles to play in the function of rotaxanes.

Abstract
Macrocyclic compounds are fundamental tools in supramolecular chemistry and have been widely used in molecular recognition, biomedicine, and materials science. The construction of new macrocycles with distinctive structures and properties would unleash new opportunities for supramolecular chemistry. Traditionally popular macrocycles, e.g., cyclodextrins, calixarenes, cucurbiturils, and pillararenes, possess specific cavities that are usually less than 10 Å in diameter; they are normally suitable for accommodating small- or medium-sized guests but cannot engulf giant molecules or structures. Furthermore, the skeletons of traditional macrocycles are impoverished and incapable of being changed; functional substituents can be introduced only on their portals.Thus, it is very challenging to construct macrocycles with customizable cavity sizes and/or diverse backbones. We have developed a versatile and modular strategy for synthesizing macrocycles, namely, biphen[n]arenes (n = 3-8), based on the structure- or function-oriented replacement of reaction modules, functional modules, and linking modules. First, two reaction modules and one functional module are connected by Suzuki-Miyaura coupling to obtain a monomer having two reaction sites. Then Friedel-Crafts alkylation between the monomer and an aldehyde (linking module) serves to afford diversely functionalized macrocycles. Moreover, large macrocycles can be achieved by using long and rigid oligo(para-phenylene) monomers. Because of the modular synthesis and plentiful molecular supplies, the biphen[n]arenes showed interesting recognition properties for both small molecules and large polypeptides. Customizable functional backbones and binding sites endowed this new family of macrocycles with peculiar self-assembly properties and potential applications in gas chromatography, pollutant capture, and physisorptive separation. Biphen[n]arenes would be a promising family of workhorses in supramolecular chemistry.In this Account, we summarize our recent work on the chemistry of biphen[n]arenes. We introduce their design and modular synthesis, including systematic exploration for reaction modules, customizable cavity sizes, skeleton functionalization, pre- and postmodification, and molecular cages. Thereafter, we discuss their host-guest properties, involving the binding for small guests by cationic/anionic/neutral biphen[n]arenes, as well as the complexation of polypeptides by large quaterphen[n]arenes. In addition, we outline the self-assembly and potential applications of this new family of macrocycles. Finally, we forecast their further development. The chemistry of biphen[n]arenes is still in its infancy. Continued exploration will not only further expand the supramolecular toolbox but also open new avenues for the use of biphen[n]arenes in the fields of biology, pharmaceutical science, and materials science.

Abstract
Inspired by the tetracationic "Texas-sized" molecular box, a neutral analogue containing four iodotriazole halogen bond-promoting subunits ("Ibox") was synthesized. This new macrocycle was prepared by means of azide-alkyne click chemistry. It was found to recognize Cl-, Br- and I- anions (as their tetrabutylammonium salts) in CDCl3. 1H NMR spectroscopic titrations revealed a higher affinity for the heavier halide anions and provided support for a preferred 1 : 2 binding stoichiometry.

Abstract
Here, we announce the establishment of a new family of organic molecular cages, named cagearenes, by taking advantage of a versatile strategy. These cagearenes were prepared via the Friedel–Crafts reaction by condensing two equivalents of a precursor bearing three 1,4-dimethoxybenzene groups and three equivalents of formaldehyde. Two cages, namely cagearene-1 and cagearene-2, are obtained and well characterized. The cagearene-1 solid exhibits the ability to adsorb benzene vapour from an equimolar benzene/cyclohexane mixture with a purity of 91.1%. Then, the adsorbed benzene molecules can be released from the cage at a relatively lower temperature, namely 70 °C, as a consequence of which, cyclohexane with a high purity was left within the cage solid. Heating the cage solid further at 130 °C led to the production of cyclohexane with a purity up to 98.7%. As inferred from the single crystal structures and theoretical calculations, the ability of the cage in programmed release of benzene and cyclohexane results from the different binding modes of these two guests. Two organic cages, cagearene-1 and cagearene-2, are prepared. The cagearene-1 solid selectively absorbs benzene vapor from a benzene/cyclohexane mixture and is used to achieve temperature-controlled programmed vapor release.![]()

Abstract
Polycationic macrocycles are attractive as they display unique molecular switching capabilities arising from their redox properties. Although diverse polycationic macrocycles have been developed, those based on cationic boron systems remain very limited. We present herein the development of novel polycationic macrocycles by introducing organoboronium moieties into a conjugated organoboron macrocyclic framework. These macrocycles consist of four bipyridylboronium units that are connected by fluorene and either electron-deficient arylborane or electron-rich arylamine moieties. Electrochemical studies reveal that the macrocycles undergo reversible multi-step redox processes with transfer of up to 10 electrons. Switchable electrochromic behavior is demonstrated via spectroelectrochemical studies and the observed color changes are rationalized by correlation with computed electronic transitions using DFT methods.

Abstract
The design and synthesis of novel macrocyclic host molecules continues to attract attention because such species play important roles in supramolecular chemistry. However, the discovery of new classes of macrocycles presents a considerable challenge due to the need to embody by design effective molecular recognition features, as well as ideally the development of synthetic routes that permit further functionalization. In 2010, we reported a new class of macrocyclic hosts: a set of tetracationic imidazolium macrocycles, which we termed “Texas-sized” molecular boxes (TxSBs) in homage to Stoddart’s classic “blue box” (CBPQT4+). Compared with the rigid blue box, the first generation TxSB displayed considerably greater conformational flexibility and a relatively large central cavity, making it a good host for a variety of electron-rich guests. In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary of TxSB chemistry, detailing our recent progress in the area of anion-responsive supramolecular self-assembly and applications of the underlying chemistry to water purification, information storage, and controlled drug release. Our objective is to provide not only a review of the fundamental findings, but also to outline future research directions where TxSBs and their constructs may have a role to play.

Abstract
The synthesis of a novel catenated system which is dense in cationic hydrogen bonding imidazolium units is described. The interlocked host system displays a preference for binding of bromide over other halides, overcoming basicity and Hofmeister trends, under aqueous conditions. This is the first example of an imidazolium-based catenane acting as an anion host through C-H hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
Self-assembly of polypseudorotaxanes in high-polar organic solvents is difficult due to remarkably weak interactions between macrocycles and axles. Reported here is a novel metal-coordinated poly[2]pseudorotaxane constructed by pillar[5]arene, 1,4-bis(4-pyridyl pyridinium)butane, and [PdCl2(PhCN)2] in highly polar organic solvent of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Utilizing a combination of 1H NMR, NOESY, DOSY, DLS, SEM, and viscosity measurements, the formation of polypseudorotaxane was shown to be dependent on the concentration of [2]pseudorotaxanes/[PdCl2(PhCN)2] and temperature. Furthermore, a temperature-responsive supramolecular gel with reversibly gel-sol transformation was obtained via spontaneous assembly of the polypseudorotaxanes at high concentrations.

Abstract
A new macrocyclic arene, helic[1]triptycene[3]arene H, was conveniently synthesized in 37% yield by a one-pot reaction starting from 2,6-dimethoxyl-3,7-dihydroxymethyltriptycene. Macrocycle H showed fixed conformation in solution and could form 1:1 complexes with a series of neutral guests, secondary ammonium salts, and tertiary ammonium salts in both solution and solid states. The association constants between H and the neutral guests were between (1.23 ± 0.10) × 102 and (4.70 ± 0.47) × 103 M-1, while the association constants between H and the ammonium guests were between (1.35 ± 0.12) × 103 and (1.59 ± 0.14) × 105 M-1. Moreover, H showed bigger association constants with secondary ammonium salts than those with tertiary ammonium salts possibly because of the steric hindrance effect and multiple intermolecular interactions. The stimuli-responsive complexation between H and the ammonium salts could be controlled by the addition and removal of acids and bases as well. Based on the host-guest complexation between H and the secondary ammonium salt, [2]rotaxane was further synthesized, and its shuttling motion could be efficiently controlled by an acid and base.

Abstract
Confined microenvironments in biomacromolecules arising from molecular crowding account for their well-defined biofunctions and bioactivities. To mimick this, synthetic polymers to form confined structures or microenvironments are of key scientific value, which have received significant attention recently. To create synthetic confined microenvironments, molecular crowding effects and topological cooperative effects have been applied successfully, and the key is balance between self-association of structural units and self-repulsion from crowding-induced steric hindrance. In this article, formation of confined microenvironments from stimuli-responsive dendronized polymers carrying densely dendritic oligoethylene glycols (OEGs) moieties in their pendants is presented. These wormlike thick macromolecules exhibit characteristic thermoresponsive properties, which can provide constrained microenvironments to encapsulate effectively guest molecules including dyes, proteins, or nucleic acids to prevent their protonation or biodegradation. This efficient shielding effect can also mediate chemical reactions in aqueous phase, and even enhance chirality transferring efficiency. All of these can be switched off simply through the thermally-induced dehydration and collapse of OEG dendrons due to the amphiphilicity of OEG chains. Furthermore, the switchable encapsulation and release of guests can be greatly enhanced when these dendronized polymers are used as major constituents for fabricating bulk hydrogels or nanogels, which provide a higher-level confinement.

Abstract
Reported here is a molecule-Lego synthetic strategy for macrocycles with functional skeletons, involving one-pot and high-yielding condensation between bis(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)arene monomers and paraformaldehyde. By changing the blocks, variously functional units (naphthalene, pyrene, anthraquinone, porphyrin, etc.) can be conveniently introduced into the backbone of macrocycles. Interestingly, the macrocyclization can be tuned by the geometrical configuration of monomeric blocks. Linear (180°) monomer yield cyclic trimers and pentamers, while V-shaped (120°, 90° and 60°) monomers tend to form dimers. More significantly, even heterogeneous macrocycles are obtained in moderate yield by co-oligomerization of different monomers. This series of macrocycles have the potential to be prosperous in the near future.

Abstract
Functional materials with rational organization cannot be directly created only by nanotechnology-related top-down approaches. For this purpose, a novel research paradigm next to nanotechnology has to be established to create functional materials on the basis of deep nanotechnology knowledge. This task can be assigned to an emerging concept, nanoarchitectonics. In the nanoarchitectonics approaches, functional materials were architected through combination of atom/molecular manipulation, organic chemical synthesis, self-assembly and related spontaneous processes, field-applied assembly, micro/nano fabrications, and bio-related processes. In this short review article, nanoarchitectonics-related approaches on materials fabrications and functions are exemplified from atom-scale to living creature level. Based on their features, unsolved problems for future developments of the nanoarchitectonics concept are finally discussed.

Abstract
Soft materials have received considerable attention from supramolecular chemists and material scientists alike. This interest reflects the advantages provided by their soft, flexible nature and the convenience of the molecular self-assembly that underlies their preparation. Common soft supramolecular materials include polymeric gels, supramolecular polymers, nanoaggregates, and membranes. Polymeric gels are solidlike networks of cross-linked polymer chains. Supramolecular polymers contain repeat units connected through reversible non-covalent bonds. Nanoaggregates are formed as a result of hydrophobic interactions involving amphiphilic building blocks. Because of the presence of non-covalent interactions, supramolecular soft materials typically display stimuli-responsive or adaptive features. Various macrocyclic hosts, such as cyclodextrins, crown ethers, calixarenes, cucurbiturils, and pillararenes, and many classic non-covalent interactions have been harnessed to construct supramolecular soft materials. Only recently has anion binding been used as the underlying recognition motif. Anions are ubiquitous in the natural world. Their importance has inspired efforts to achieve good anion binding and to exploit anion recognition in a number of fields, including extraction, transport, sensing, and catalysis. Most of this effort has involved the use of stand-alone anion receptors. On the other hand, soft materials with anion recognition features could lead to new macromolecular systems of interest in the context of many application areas. In this Account, we summarize the latest efforts from our laboratory to prepare supramolecular soft materials, including polymeric gels, supramolecular polymers, and nanoaggregates, with bona fide anion recognition features. Two anion receptor systems, namely, calix[4]pyrroles (C4Ps) and a tetraimidazolium macrocycle known as the "Texas-sized" molecular box (TxSB), have been used for this purpose. To date, TxSB-based hydrogels have been utilized to capture anions from water and for coded information applications; C4P-based organic polymeric gels have been used to extract dianions from aqueous source phases and for the on-site detection of chloride anions. Polymers containing C4P and TxSB anion recognition subunits typically display responsive features and can be modified through application of appropriately chosen external stimuli. For instance, nanoaggregates may be formed as a result of the hydrophobic interactions of C4P- and TxSB-based amphiphiles. The resulting aggregates were found to mimic the structural evolution of organelles and could be used as effective anion and ion pair extractants. This Account summarizes progress to date while underscoring potential opportunities associated with combining anion recognition and soft materials chemistry. The hope is to stimulate further advances in broad areas, including polymer science, supramolecular chemistry, biology, materials research, and information storage.

Abstract
We report an expanded "Texas-sized" molecular box (AzoTxSB) that incorporates photoresponsive azobenzene bridging subunits and anion recognition motifs. The shape of this box can be switched through light induced E ↔ Z photoisomerization of the constituent azobenzenes. This allows various anionic substrates to be bound and released by using different forms of the box. Control can also be achieved using other environmental stimuli, such as pH and anion competition.

Abstract
Recently it was found that at ambient temperatures and in specific ternary solvents a cationic macrocyclic tetraimidazolium molecular box and small dianionic salts can self-assemble into highly defined, colloid-like ionic clusters, called ionoids. Here, we present evidence that the solution-based ionic self-assembly process leading to ionoids is a general phenomenon by characterizing new ionic building blocks which are capable of generating loosely bound globular and anisotropic structures similar to those in the established system. Using new cationic and anionic molecules, we show that variations in the size ratio between cationic and anionic component mainly affect size, shape and durability of the ionic clusters. Utilizing dynamic light scattering (DLS), continuously monitored phase-analysis light scattering (cmPALS) and continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance (CW EPR) spectroscopy, we can thus define generalized ionic ratios, in which specific combinations of ionic compounds with certain size and charge densities are able to form these soft yet durable and long-lived ionic clusters. Furthermore, we characterize the temporal development of our dynamically self-assembled structures in solution from the level of the individual ionic building blocks to stable clusters with minimum lifetimes of months through previously established ionoid evolution diagrams (IEDs). The direct comparison of various cluster systems with respect to their shape, size and charges allows correlations of structural changes of the individual building blocks with the fate of self-assembled entities inside the crafted IEDs. This work generalizes the concept of ionoid formation to ions of specific sizes and charge densities, which may broaden the scope of this new type of highly dynamic and soft yet remarkably durable structures in the field of supramolecular chemistry. Recently it was found that at ambient temperatures and in specific ternary solvents a cationic macrocyclic tetraimidazolium molecular box and small dianionic salts can self-assemble into highly defined, colloid-like ionic clusters, called ionoids.![]()

Abstract
Large amplitude conformational change is one of the features of biomolecular recognition and is also the basis for allosteric effects and signal transduction in functional biological systems. However, synthetic receptors with controllable conformational changes are rare. In this article, we present a thorough study on the host–guest chemistry of a conformationally adaptive macrocycle, namely per-O-ethoxyzorb[4]arene (ZB4). Similar to per-O-ethoxyoxatub[4]arene, ZB4 is capable of accommodating a wide range of organic cations. However, ZB4 does not show large amplitude conformational responses to the electronic substituents on the guests. Instead of a linear free-energy relationship, ZB4 follows a parabolic free-energy relationship. This is explained by invoking the influence of secondary C–H···O hydrogen bonds on the primary cation···π interactions based on the information obtained from four representative crystal structures. In addition, heat capacity changes (ΔCp) and enthalpy–entropy compensation phenomena both indicate that solvent reorganization is also involved during the binding. This research further deepens our understanding on the binding behavior of ZB4 and lays the basis for the construction of stimuli-responsive materials with ZB4 as a major component.
