Triptycene-derived macrotricyclic polyether containing an anthracene unit is a powerful host for 1,2-bis(pyridium)ethane, diquat and 2,7-diazapyrenium salt with association constants of the 1 : 1 complexes at >10(5) M(-1). Crystal structures showed that π-π stacking interactions between the host and the guests play an important role in the formation of the stable complexes.

A new acid/base controllable host-guest system based on a triptycene-derived macrotricyclic host and protonated 4,4'-bipyridinium/pyridinium salts was developed. Moreover, the competition complexation process between the host and two different kinds of 4,4'-bipyridinium salts could also be chemically controlled by acid and base.

Complexation between a triptycene-derived macrotricyclic polyether containing two dibenzo-[30]-crown-10 cavities and different functionalized paraquat derivatives, diquat, and a 2,7-diazapyrenium salt in both solution and solid state was investigated in detail. It was found that depending on the guests with different terminal functional groups and structures, the macrotricyclic polyether could form 1:1 or 1:2 complexes with the guests in different complexation modes in solution and also in the solid state. Especially, the conformation of the macrotricyclic polyether was efficiently adjusted by the encapsulated guests, which was to some extent similar to substrate-induced fit of enzymes.

A new triptycene-derived macrotricyclic host containing two dibenzo-[18]-crown-6 moieties was synthesized and shown to form 1:1 complexes with paraquat derivatives in solution, in which the guests all thread the central cavity of the host. However, it was interestingly found that, depending on the paraquat derivatives with different functional groups, the host can form stable 1:1 or 1:2 complexes in different complexation modes in the solid state, which is significantly different from those of the macrotricyclic host containing two dibenzo-[24]-crown-8 moieties. The formation of the complexes was also proved by the ESI MS and electrochemical experiments.

A triptycene-derived macrotricyclic host containing two dibenzo-[30]-crown-10 moieties forms stable 1:2 host-guest complexes with paraquat derivatives in both solution and the solid state, in which anion-π interactions between PF(6)(-) and the bipyridinium rings play an important role. Moreover, it was found that binding and release of the guest molecules in the complexes could be easily controlled by the addition and removal of potassium ions.
