Pillararenes Monographs in Supramolecular Chemistry Series

Pillararenes are a new class of macrocyclic hosts (similar to the cucurbiturils and calixarenes) and have applications in sensing, material synthesis and biomedicine e.g. artificial transmembrane channels. The book covers the history, related macrocyclic compounds, synthesis, structure, rotation, host–guest properties, planar chirality and functionality of pillararenes along with pillar[5] arene-based supramolecular assemblies and applications. Edited by the leader in the field, this is the first book to cover pillararenes.
