摘要

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Pillar[n]arenes are new generation of supramolecular macrocyclic host, which exhibit excellent host−guest recognition properties. In the last decade, functional materials constructed from pillar[n]arenes have been attracted more and more attention and displayed outstanding characteristics, such as stimuli‐responsiveness, self‐healing and adaptability. In this mini‐review, we provide a survey of the pillar[n]arene‐based literatures covering light‐harvesting systems, functional hydrogels, and solid materials. It is anticipated that more and more pillar[n]arenes‐based advanced materials with multi‐functional properties will appear in the near future.</jats:p>
