Published: July 2022

Macrocyclic arenes-based fluorescent indicator displacement assays (F-IDAs) offer a unique and innovative approach to chemosensing, taking molecular recognition in host-guest chemistry to a higher level. Because of their special architecture and versatile host-guest binding properties, macrocyclic arenes, principally calix[]arenes and, in recent years, pillar[]arenes, in combination with various fluorophores, are widely used in F-IDAs for the specific and selective sensing of cationic, anionic, and neutral analytes. In this paper, we review recent progress in the development of F-IDAs based on macrocyclic arenes and outline the prospects and remaining challenges relating to macrocyclic arenes-based F-IDAs.

Fluorescent macrocyclic arenes have attracted increasing interest in macrocyclic and supramolecular chemistry due to their exceptional photophysical properties and versatile applications. Classical macrocyclic arenes modified with fluorescent groups at the upper or bottom rims have long provided valuable platforms across various fields. Recently, a large number of novel fluorescent macrocyclic arenes directly composed of polycyclic aromatic or heteroaromatic building blocks including naphthalene, anthracene, tetraphenylethene, pyrene, fluorene, carbazole, acridan, phenothiazine, coumarin, triphenylamine, benzothiadiazole and so on, have been reported, and they have shown specific fluorescent property, and also exhibited broad applications in molecular recognition, sensing, bioimaging and functional materials.

Macrocyclic Arenes-Based Conjugated Macrocycle Polymers for Highly Selective CO Capture and Iodine Adsorption.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

April 2021

Incorporating synthetic macrocycles with unique structures and distinct conformations into conjugated macrocycle polymers (CMPs) can endow the resulting materials with great potentials in gas uptake and pollutant adsorption. Here, four CMPs (CMP-n, n=1-4) capable of reversibly capturing iodine and efficiently separating carbon dioxide are constructed from per-triflate functionalized leaning tower[6]arene (LT6-OTf) and [2]biphenyl-extended pillar[6]arene (BpP6-OTf) via Pd-catalyzed Sonogashira-Hagihara cross-coupling reaction. Intriguingly, owing to the appropriate cavity size of LT6-OTf and the numerous aromatic rings in the framework, the newly designed CMP-4 possesses an outstanding I affinity with a large uptake capacity of 208 wt % in vapor and a great removal efficiency of 94 % in aqueous solutions.

Construction of Hydrocarbon Nanobelts.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

May 2020

MOE Key Laboratory of Bioorganic Phosphorous and Chemical Biology, Department of Chemistry, Tsinghua University, Beijing, 100084, China.

Linearly fused hydrocarbon nanobelts are a unique type of double-stranded macrocycles that would serve as not only the powerful hosts in supramolecular science but also the templates to grow zig-zag carbon nanotubes with defined diameters. Fully conjugated hydrocarbon nanobelts such as belt[n]arenes would also possess unique physical and chemical properties. Despite the importance, both fully conjugated and (partially) saturated hydrocarbon nanobelts remain largely unexplored because of the lack of cyclization methods.

Gated Materials: Installing Macrocyclic Arenes-Based Supramolecular Nanovalves on Porous Nanomaterials for Controlled Cargo Release.

Supramolecular nanovalves are an emerging class of important elements that are functionalized on the surfaces of inorganic or hybrid nanocarriers in the constructions of smart cargo delivery systems. Taking advantage of the pseudorotaxane structure via host-guest complexation and the dynamic nature of supramolecular interactions, macrocyclic arene-based supramolecular nanovalves have shown great promise in the applications of drug delivery and controlled release. Careful selection of diverse external stimuli, such as pH variations, temperature changes, redox, enzymes, light irradiation, and competitive binding, can activate the opening and closing of the nanovalves by altering the supramolecular structure or binding affinities.
