摘要

A novel 2,2-bipyridine-bridged pillar[5]arene dimer was successfully synthesized and further applied for constructing linear supramolecular polymers through pillar[5]arene-based host-guest interactions. Specifically, upon addition of Zn2+ ions, the linear supramolecular polymer could be cross-linked through metal-ligand interactions, resulting in the formation of a novel supramolecular polymer network gel.
