AI Article Synopsis

  • A gelator linked to cyanostilbene was combined with cyclodextrins using host-guest interactions.
  • The γ-CyD formed a supra-gelator that allowed for chiroptical photo-switching capabilities.
  • Other gel types exhibited improved circularly polarized luminescence properties.

Article Abstract

A cyanostilbene conjugated gelator was incorporated into the cavities of cyclodextrins via the host-guest interaction and the resulting supra-gelator from γ-CyD enabled chiroptical photo-switching, while the other gels showed enhanced circularly polarized luminescences.

As a special kind of supramolecular compound with many favorable properties, pillar[]arene-based supramolecular polymer networks (SPNs) show potential application in many fields. Although we have come a long way using pillar[]arene to prepare SPNs and construct a series of smart materials, it remains a challenge to enhance the mechanical strength of pillar[]arene-based SPNs. To address this issue, a new supramolecular regulation strategy was developed, which could precisely control the preparation of pillar[]arene-based SPN materials with excellent mechanical properties by adjusting the polymer network structures.

Article Synopsis
  • A hydrophobically associative polymer (HAP) was combined with β-cyclodextrin and epichlorohydrin polycondensate (β-CDP) to boost intermolecular interactions in water, improving thickening and viscoelastic properties.
  • The resulting host-guest inclusion system showed unique viscosity-temperature characteristics and variable activation energy, enhancing the solution's performance in oil recovery applications.
  • Tests indicated that the β-CDP/HAP mixture outperformed pure HAP and other solutions, achieving a 5.5% and 9.3% greater oil recovery than HAP and a partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide solution, respectively, making it more effective for high-temperature oil extraction.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), characterized by choroidal neovascularization (CNV), is the global leading cause of irreversible blindness. Current first-line therapeutics, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antagonists, often yield incomplete and suboptimal vision improvement, necessitating the exploration of novel and efficacious therapeutic approaches. Herein, a supramolecular engineering strategy to construct moringin (MOR) loaded α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) coated nanoceria (M@CCNP) is constructed, where the hydroxy and newly formed carbonyl groups of α-CD interact with the nanoceria surface via O─Ce conjunction and the isothiocyanate group of MOR inserts deeply into the α-CD cavity via host-guest interaction.

Intensified host-guest electronic interplay within stable metal-organic cages (MOCs) presents great opportunities for applications in stimuli response and photocatalysis. Zr-MOCs represent a type of robust discrete hosts for such a design, but their host-guest chemistry in solution is hampered by the limited solubility. Here, by using pyridinium-derived cationic ligands with tetrakis(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)borate (BAr) as solubilizing counteranions, we report the preparation of soluble Zr-MOCs of different shapes (1-4) that are otherwise inaccessible through a conventional method.

Ion selective membranes with precise Mg/Li separation have attracted extensive interest in lithium extraction to circumvent the lithium supply shortage. However, realizing this target remains a significant challenge mainly due to a high concentration ratio of Mg/Li as well as the relatively close ionic hydration radius and chemical. Herein, inspired by the host-guest recognition between alkali-metal ions and crown ether (CE), a novel approach was proposed to regulate the membrane internal structure by introducing CE to strengthen the complexation between Li and CE.
