Pillar[n]arenes, which were first reported by our group in 2008, are promising macrocyclic compounds in supramolecular chemistry. The simple, tubular, and highly symmetrical shape of pillar[n]arenes has allowed various supramolecular assemblies with well-defined structures to be constructed. The pillar-shaped structures of pillar[n]arenes are suitable for surface modification and formation of one-dimensional (1D) channels. The regular polygonal prism shape of organized pillar[n]arenes contributes to the construction of highly assembled structures such as two-dimensional (2D) sheets and three-dimensional (3D) spheres. In this minireview, we describe supramolecular assemblies with various dimensions. First, we discuss 1D supramolecular assemblies based on tubular structures of pillar[n]arenes. Second, 2D supramolecular sheet formation based on regular polygonal structures is described. Finally, 3D supramolecular assemblies such as vesicles and 3D frameworks constructed from pillar[n]arenes are discussed. [GRAPHICS] .
