Pillarenes, with their useful features such as rigidity, capaciousness, hydrophobic cavities, and exposed functional groups, have become increasingly popular since their discovery in 2008. This Minireview focuses on the use of functionalized Pillarenes and their assembled supramolecular materials in catalysis, providing insights into their mechanisms and potential applications. Subdivided topics include catalysis promoted by the Pillarene rim/cavity, Pillarene-based nanomaterials, and Pillarene-based polymeric materials, making it the first comprehensive overview on Pillarene-based catalysis.
The many useful features possessed by pillararenes (PAs; e.g. rigid, capacious, and hydrophobic cavities, as well as exposed functional groups) have led to a tremendous increase in their popularity since their first discovery in 2008. In this Minireview, we emphasize the use of functionalized PAs and their assembled supramolecular materials in the field of catalysis. We aim to provide a fundamental understanding and mechanism of the role PAs play in catalytic process. The topics are subdivided into catalysis promoted by the PA rim/cavity, PA-based nanomaterials, and PA-based polymeric materials. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first overview on PA-based catalysis. This Minireview not only summarizes the fabrications and applications of PAs in catalysis but also anticipates future research efforts in applying supramolecular hosts in catalysis.
