“…They have been demonstrated as binding guests containing a variety of functional groups, including Azo, − polyethylene glycol (PEG), , polypropylene glycol (PPG), reduced methyl viologen (MV), adamantane (Ad), , ferrocene (Fc), , cholesterol, , cholic acid, dansyl, phenolphthalein, NIPAM, and tetraaniline functionalities (Figure ). The resulting host–guest systems provide excellent platforms for constructing a range of supramolecular polymeric materials in aqueous media. ,,,,,− Differences in the stimuli-responsive properties of the underlying host–guest recognition motifs endow the resulting supramolecular polymeric materials with versatility in terms of their external stimuli-responsiveness; this feature, in turn, has made these systems of interest across a number of fields. ,,,− Representative SPNs that contain covalent polymeric backbones and which exploit CD-based host–guest interactions are highlighted in this section. Some of the rationales underlying their preparation are also discussed.…”
