基于柱芳烃的超分子催化研究进展

Advances in Supramolecular Catalysis Based on Pillararenes

利用超分子识别与组装的基本原理,发展新型超分子催化剂以实现催化反应的超分子选择性调控是当今催化领域研究的热点和前沿。柱芳烃是一类具有刚性骨架结构的新型大环主体分子,其富电子的空腔和优异的主客体化学性质能够对客体分子进行选择性识别,使其在超分子催化中显示了独特的催化性能。综述了近十年来柱芳烃在超分子催化领域的应用研究进展,重点阐述主-客体相互作用对超分子催化选择性的调控作用,并对其存在问题进行总结及发展前景进行展望。

Supramolecular catalysts have been developing for controlling selectivity of supramolecular catalysis by virtue of the basic principles of supramolecular recognition and assembly,which has becomed a hot topic in the field of catalysis.Pillararenes is a novel macrocyclic host possessing rigid architecture.The electron-rich cavity and excellent host-guest property make pillararenes great supramolecular hosts with selective guest binding and unique catalytic performance in supramolecular catalysis.This review focued on the recent progress in supramolecular catalysis based on the pilliararenes in recent decade.The manipulation of selectivity in supramolecular catalysis via host-guest interaction was emphatically introduced.The existing problems of current study and the perspectives were also discussed.
