Photo-Controlled Reversible Uptake and Release of a Modified Sulfamethoxazole Antibiotic Drug from a Pillar[5]arene Cross-Linked Gelatin Hydrogel

Ref: ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces 2024, 16, 7, 8250–8265 Description: In this innovative study, pillar[5]arene cross-linked gelatin hydrogels were engineered as light-responsive antibiotic delivery systems. By harnessing supramolecular host–guest interactions with an azobenzene-modified antibiotic (Azo-SMX), the hydrogels achieved photo-controlled drug...

Single-Atom Tuning of Pyridine-Strapped Pillar[5]arene Capsules for Specific Guest Binding

Ref: Org. Lett. 2025, 27, 9, 2093–2097 Description: In this standout study published in Organic Letters, the team introduces a pyridine-bis(carboxamide)-strapped pillar[5]arene capsule whose single-atom orientation within the macrocycle dramatically tunes guest binding. They achieved exceptionally high selectivity and affinity...

Pertosylated pillar[5]arene: self-template assisted synthesis and supramolecular polymer formation

Ref: Chem. Commun., 2020,56, 8739-8742 Description: A self-templated pillar[5]arene spontaneously assembles into linear supramolecular polymers through tosylate-driven host–guest interactions. This high-yield, one-step synthesis unveils dynamic, fiber-like architectures—showcasing how built-in molecular design can direct self-assembly toward smart, functional supramolecular materials.
