“…The supramolecular self-assembly strategy provides an alternative approach to artificial photosynthesis. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Organic supramolecular systems are easier to construct compared with the inorganic counterparts. Meanwhile, supramolecular structures based on non-covalent bonds can avoid complicated synthesis of conjugated molecules.…”

“…Furthermore, functional pillar[n]arene derivatives, such as the water-soluble one, were used as an amphiphilic addictive [ 44 ] to promote the physiochemical properties of carbon nanotubes, e.g., by greatly improving the dispersion of carbon nanotubes in aqueous solutions. Finally, functional pillar[n]arene was directly decorated on the surface of carbon nanotubes to expand the current applications, constructing pillar[n]arene-carbon nanotube hybrid materials for sensing [ 45 ], catalysis [ 46 ] and supramolecular gels [ 47 ].…”

The recent progress in pillar[n]arene-assisted/participated carbon nanotube hybrid materials were initially summarized and discussed. The molecular structure of pillar[n]arene could serve different roles in the fabrication of attractive carbon nanotube-based materials. Firstly, pillar[n]arene has the ability to provide the structural basis for enlarging the cylindrical pillar-like architecture by forming one-dimensional, rigid, tubular, oligomeric/polymeric structures with aromatic moieties as the linker, or forming spatially “closed”, channel-like, flexible structures by perfunctionalizing with peptides and with intramolecular hydrogen bonding. Interestingly, such pillar[n]arene-based carbon nanotube-resembling structures were used as porous materials for the adsorption and separation of gas and toxic pollutants, as well as for artificial water channels and membranes. In addition to the art of organic synthesis, self-assembly based on pillar[n]arene, such as self-assembled amphiphilic molecules, is also used to promote and control the dispersion behavior of carbon nanotubes in solution. Furthermore, functionalized pillar[n]arene derivatives integrated carbon nanotubes to prepare advanced hybrid materials through supramolecular interactions, which could also incorporate various compositions such as Ag and Au nanoparticles for catalysis and sensing.

“… 25 Catalysis by pillar[ n ]arenes is also one of the hot research topics, which emerged in the last few years. 26,27 One of advantages of pillar[ n ]arenes is their tubular structures which allow for reactant ingress and product egress. 28 However, the key is to control the guest exchange dynamic that favours the product formation.…”
