TL;DR: In this article, an efficient method for the fabrication of a simple sensor array based on the competitive binding in supramolecular gels has been described, which can accurately identify fourteen kinds of important ions (F−, Cl−, I−, CN−, HSO4−, SCN−, S2−, OH−, Al3+, Fe3+, Zn2+, Hg2+, Pb2+ and H+) in water.
Abstract: Sensor arrays are a powerful tool for multianalyte sensing and the development of an efficient sensor array has become one of the most intriguing problems. However, sensor arrays often employ lots of receptors which need large amounts of work to synthesise. This study describes an efficient method for the fabrication of a simple sensor array based on the competitive binding in supramolecular gels. By rationally introducing various well-designed competitive binding interactions into the supramolecular gel, which is self-assembled from a naphthylhydrazone-based organogelator, a supramolecular gel-based twenty-two-member sensor array has been created. Interestingly, the sensor array has been shown to accurately identify fourteen kinds of important ions (F−, Cl−, I−, CN−, HSO4−, SCN−, S2−, OH−, Al3+, Fe3+, Zn2+, Hg2+, Pb2+ and H+) in water. It's important to note that this sensor array needs only one synthesized receptor. Moreover, using this method, we also obtained a series of ion response fluorescent supramolecular materials, which could act as security display materials. Therefore, it's a novel and facile way for the design of a simple sensor array as well as ion response fluorescent supramolecular materials.

TL;DR: By rationally introducing iodine into a novel naphthalimide-functionalized pillar[5]arene-based supramolecular polymer (PNA⊃GBP), the iodine could not only control the optical properties and self-assembly states of PNA ⊂GBP via electronic donor–acceptor effect but also control the molecular recognition properties by competitive redox reaction.
Abstract: A simple and efficient approach to endow the controllable multi-stimuli-responsive property for the supramolecular polymer was successfully developed by rationally introducing iodine into a novel naphthalimide-functionalized pillar[5]arene-based supramolecular polymer (PNA⊃GBP). Interestingly, by introducing iodine into the supramolecular polymer PNA⊃GBP, the iodine could not only control the optical properties and self-assembly states of PNA⊃GBP via electronic donor–acceptor effect but also control the molecular recognition properties by competitive redox reaction. Benefiting from these excellent iodine controlled multiresponse properties, the PNA⊃GBP showed selective fluorescent response for cyanide, cysteine, and mercury in supramolecular polymer gels, water solutions, and living cells with high sensitivities. The supramolecular polymer PNA⊃GBP could act as a novel smart material for selective detection CN–, Hg2+, and l-Cys.

TL;DR: This Review has provided historical background to macrocyclic chemistry, followed by a detailed discussion of the fundamental properties of pillar[n]arenes, including their synthesis, structure, and host-guest properties.
Abstract: In 2008, we reported a new class of pillar-shaped macrocyclic hosts, known as “pillar[n]arenes”. Today, pillar[n]arenes are recognized as key players in supramolecular chemistry because of their facile synthesis, unique pillar shape, versatile functionality, interesting host–guest properties, and original supramolecular assembly characteristics, which have resulted in numerous electrochemical and biomedical material applications. In this Review, we have provided historical background to macrocyclic chemistry, followed by a detailed discussion of the fundamental properties of pillar[n]arenes, including their synthesis, structure, and host–guest properties. Furthermore, we have discussed the applications of pillar[n]arenes to materials science, as well as their applications in supramolecular chemistry, in terms of their fundamental properties. Finally, we have described the future perspectives of pillar[n]arene chemistry. We hope that this Review will provide a useful reference for researchers working in th...
