A pillar[6]arene-based supramolecular amphiphile has been constructed in water. The supramolecular amphiphile formed vesicles, which could be regulated by pH, light and enzymes, and thus the loaded dye in the vesicles could be released in a controlled manner.

1,2-Dihydro-1,3,5-triazines and symmetrical 1,3,5-triazines were obtained in up to 81% yields from amidines and N,N-dimethylethanolamine catalyzed by CuCl2. The reaction involves three C-N bond formations during the oxidative annulation process...

Organic solvent soluble gold nanoparticles based on pillar[5]arenes were prepared for the first time. They can reversibly aggregate and disassemble based on photo[4+4] cycloaddition of anthracene and can be used as recyclable catalysts.
