“…They are similar to calixarenes, but the linkages between the phenols lead to pillar-like, highly symmetrical structures (Behera et al, 2020). Pillararenes have been used in a variety of supramolecular applications, including for the binding and removal of organic toxicants from contaminated aqueous environments (Fernando et al, 2019); as components of solidstate crystalline structures (Li et al, 2020a); and as nanochannels for biomimetic research (Sun et al, 2020). Like the macrocycle classes previously discussed, pillararenes rely primarily on hydrophobic association to bind small-molecule hydrophobic guests (Shen et al, 2018), with particular examples reported using electrostatic interactions (Liu et al, 2019b) and/or intermolecular hydrogen bonding (Han et al, 2020a) as cooccurring mechanisms.…”

The detection of pesticides in real-world environments is a high priority for a broad range of applications, including in areas of public health, environmental remediation, and agricultural sustainability. While many methods for pesticide detection currently exist, the use of supramolecular fluorescence-based methods has significant practical advantages. Herein, we will review the use of fluorescence-based pesticide detection methods, with a particular focus on supramolecular chemistry-based methods. Illustrative examples that show how such methods have achieved success in real-world environments are also included, as are areas highlighted for future research and development.

“…Binary macrocycle nanochannels are ideal platforms for measuring atomic precision ion and molecular transport. [102,103] The introduction of macrocyclic compounds into photosensitive nanochannel can precisely transport specific molecules and ions, expanding its applications in confined space. Remarkably, the light responsive inorganic materials usually have a good photothermal and photoelectric effect.…”

Biological channels have fundamental roles in the metabolism of organisms by precisely regulating the transport of molecules and ions, which is necessary to maintain the normal activity of the living body. [1,2] A typical example of biological channelrhodopsins that serve as sensory photoreceptors would function as a signal transmission medium. [1] Inspired by biological channels, scientists have built various artificial solid Light stimuli have notable advantages over other environmental stimuli, such as more precise spatial and temporal regulation, and the ability to serve as an energy source to power the system. In nature, photoresponsive nanochannels are important components of organisms, with examples including the rhodopsin channels in optic nerve cells and photoresponsive protein channels in the photosynthesis system of plants. Inspired by biological channels, scientists have constructed various photoresponsive, smart solidstate nanochannels membranes for a range of applications. In this review, the methods and applications of photosensitive nanochannels membranes are summarized. The authors believe that this review will inspire researchers to further develop multifunctional artificial nanochannels for applications in the fields of biosensors, stimuli-responsive smart devices, and nanofluidic devices, among others.

Pillar[n]arene is a novel kind of synthetic supramolecular macrocyclic host characterized by its particular pillar-shaped structure consisting of an electron-rich cavity and two finely adjustable rims. Benefiting from its rigid structure, facile synthesis, ease of functionalization, and outstanding host–guest chemistry, pillar[n]arene shows great potential for diverse applications. Significantly, the host–guest recognition of pillar[n]arene provides a novel approach for chemosensing and imaging. Herein, this Review critically and comprehensively reviews the applications of pillar[n]arene-based host–guest recognition in chemosensing and imaging. The sensing and imaging mechanisms as well as the unique roles and advantages of pillar[n]arene-based host–guest recognition are summarized. In addition, preparations of hybrid materials based on pillar[n]arene and inorganic materials are also introduced comprehensively in the light of chemosensing and imaging. Finally, current challenges and perspectives on pillar[n]arene-based host–guest recognition in chemosensing and imaging are outlined.
