Editorial: Host–guest chemistry of macrocycles— Volume II

Abstract

Editorial on the Research Topic Host-guest chemistry of macrocycles-Volume IIThe field of macrocyclic host-guest chemistry was born with the discovery of crown ethers (CEs) by Pederson and has been the catalyst that led to the field of supramolecular chemistry more generally (Pedersen, 1967). Apart from CEs, the diversity of macrocyclic hosts with different shapes and cavities is staggering and many other examples such as cyclodextrins (
