Macrocyclic compounds play a major role in supramolecular chemistry because of their beautiful shape, nano-scale
as new components of materials as well as entities related to biological structural formation and functions using

various macrocyclic hosts.
In 2008, we reported a new class of macrocyclic hosts named “pillar[n]arenes”.[1,2] They have unique symmetricalpillar structures due to their para-bridge linkage. Based on the pillar-shaped structure, we have produced molecularscale porous materials by assembly of pillar[n]arenes, Due to the pillar-shaped structure, pillar[n]arenes mainly form
one-dimensional (1D) channel structures in crystal state. We discovered that these 1D channel assemblies formed
complexes selectively with high mass fraction of polymers when immersed in polymers with high polydispersity.[3]We have also contacted discrete 1D tubular assemblies using pillar[5]arenes with different rims and applied these
discrete tubes for highly selective artificial water channels.[4] Biosensor applications of functionalized pillar[6]arenes
for quantitative detection of a vitamin metabolite in crude biological samples are also reported.[5]Associate Professor at Kanazawa University
