Macrocyclic structures are popular in supramolecular chemistry and have enjoyed considerable success as platforms for elaboration to container compounds and new materials. Host/guest studies in organic media have relied heavily on structures derived from crown ethers, calixarenes, cucurbiturils, resorcinarenes and pillararenes over the past decades. More recently, their water-soluble versions have been developed for potential applications in biology.

Chiral macrocycles have recently emerged as promising materials for enantioselective recognition, asymmetric catalysis, and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) due to their terminal-free structure, preorganized chiral cavities, and unique host-guest and self-assembly properties. This review summarizes recent advances in the design and synthesis of chiral macrocycles with central, axial, helical, and planar chirality, each imparting distinct structural and chiroptical characteristics. We highlight key strategies for constructing these macrocycles and their applications in optoelectronic and catalytic systems.

This study explores the vapochromic and vapoluminescent behaviors of [Pt(tpy)Cl]PF host molecules (tpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine) under acetonitrile (CHCN) vapor guest, challenging the conventional view that these phenomena arise solely from direct host-guest interactions. Our findings reveal a cooperative mechanism where mechanochromic surface perturbations prime the Pt(II) host for guest incorporation, leading to initial color and luminescence changes prior to significant structural alterations. While the color transition between the yellow [Pt(tpy)Cl]PF form and the red/orange [Pt(tpy)Cl]PF·CHCN form is reversible, repeated vapor cycling induces a loss of crystallinity, as indicated by diffraction peak broadening and emission shifts.

Although a widely used and important industrial chemical, carbon disulfide (CS) poses a number of hazards due to its volatility and toxicity. As such, the development of multifunctional materials for the selective capture and easy recognition of CS is one of the crucial issues. Herein, we demonstrate completely selective CS adsorption among trials involving HO, alcohols, volatile organic compounds (including thiol derivatives), N, H, O, CH, CO, NO, and CO.
