A water-soluble pillar[6]arene: synthesis, host–guest chemistry, controllable self-assembly, and application in controlled release†
Abstract
A new water-soluble pillar[6]arene was successfully prepared. It complexed with a sodium p-hydroxybenzoate derivative to form a supra-amphiphile. The controllable self-assembly and application in controlled release of this supra-amphiphile in water were investigated.
