Functionalization of homothiacalix[4]arenes was made possible by changing the precursors before macrocyclization (Scheme 1) [12]. Recently, pillar[n]arenes have attracted much interest as new supramolecular receptors due to their pillar-shaped

Dynamic covalent chemistry has moved in this direction [93], and some initial efforts in this area using supramolecular chemistry have also appeared. For example, Andy Wilson’s group reported a sequence of supramolecular

In the present article, we further develop the idea of systematic variation of the oligomerization degree of Aβ fragments by using dynamic covalent chemistry for the assembly of miniamyloids.

Driven by the intramolecular donor–acceptor interaction between the TTF and viologen units, the polymers folded into pleated conformations
