Supra-amphiphiles assembled by macrocycle-based host-guest interactions have received considerable attention in recent years due to their dynamic properties and wide applications. Pillar[ n ]arenes are a unique family of macrocycles which exhibit outstanding host-guest behavior. Developing water-sol...
