A pillar of the community: In 2008, a new class of macrocycles, “pillar[n]arenes” was discovered. This Minireview describes application of pillar[n]arene-based supramolecular assemblies for supramolecular gel formation, reactions, light-harvesting systems, drug-delivery system, biochemical applications, separation and storage materials, and surface chemistry.
