[reaction: see text] It was found that a cylindrical macrotricyclic host containing two dibenzo[24]crown-8 cavities could self-assemble with two dibenzylammonium salts to form a stable 1:2 complex in solution and in the solid state, in which multiple hydrogen-bonding and pi-pi stacking interactions between the host and the guest played an important role. Furthermore, a series of dendritic pseudorotaxanes were constructed and structurally studied.

A novel water-soluble cylindrical macrotricyclic host containing one central cavity and two dibenzo-24-crown-8 lateral cavities was synthesized. It could form 1 : 2 complexes with N-methylquinolinium salts or N-methylisoquinolinium salts in water solution and in the solid state, in which multiple hydrogen-bonding and π-π stacking interactions between the host and the guests played an important role. Moreover, the complexation and decomplexation of the complexes between the host and the guests could be achieved by changing the pH of the solution, and the process could also be observed by the naked eye.

The development of new classes of macrocyclic hosts has always been one of the most important topics in supramolecular chemistry. During the past several years, based on the triptycene with unique three-dimensional rigid structure, several different kinds of novel triptycene-derived hosts including triptycene-derived cylindrical macrotricyclic polyether, triptycene-derived tris(crown ether)s, triptycene-derived molecular tweezers, triptycene-derived calixarenes, triptycene-derived heterocalixarenes, triptycene-derived tetralactam macrocycles and molecular cage have been designed and synthesized. Then, by exploring the applications of some of the triptycene derived hosts in molecular recognition and molecular assemblies, a series of new supramolecular systems with specific structures and properties have been developed.

A novel anthracene-based cylindrical macrotricyclic polyether containing two dibenzo-30-crown-10 cavities has been synthesized and shown to be a powerful host to form 1:1 stable complexes with the rodlike bispyridinium dications (K(a) > 10(5) M(-1)). Moreover, it was found that the complexes could all self-assemble into linear supramolecular arrays and further 2D mosaic-like architectures in the solid state.

Formation of ternary complexes between a macrotricyclic host and hetero-guest pairs: an acid-base controlled selective complexation process.

A triptycene-based cylindrical macrotricyclic host can include diquat and electron-rich aromatics simultaneously to form stable ternary complexes, which is stabilized not only by a charge-transfer (CT) interaction between electron-rich and electron-deficient guests but also by the face to face pi-stacking interactions between the host and the guests. Moreover, a selective complexation process between a ternary complex containing benzidine and a binary complex can be effectively controlled by the use of acid and base.

A novel triptycene-based cylindrical macrotricyclic host 1 containing an anthracene unit and two dibenzo [24]crown-8 moieties was synthesized, and its cation binding properties were studied. It was found that the host could not only form complex with the paraquat derivative 4, but also show selective templated complexation with pyromellitic diimide 2 and anthraquinone 3 in the presence of lithium and potassium ions, respectively. Consequently, two novel cascade complexes with neutral molecules as bridging species were formed in solution and in the solid state, which were structurally studied by NMR, MS spectra, and X-ray methods.
