Novel macrocycles – and old ones doing new tricks
Prof. Christoph A. Schalley, Freie Universität Berlin
Macrocycles have always been the workhorses of supramolecular chemistry. Besides the well-studied crown ethers, cyclodextrins, calixarenes or cucrbiturils, new macrocycles have been developed recently with pillararenes being only the most prominent ones. They offer novel features in host guest chemistry and new properties that can be exploited in various applications. The present thematic issue highlights these novel macrocycles and puts them in context with exciting developments in the chemistry of their more traditional analogues.
