Recent advances in the chemistry of cyclotriveratrylene.
New chemistry of the cyclic molecular host cyclotriveratrylene (CTV) includes applications such as in sensors and separations; in self-organised materials such as gels, liquid crystals, dendritic systems, and self-assembled monolayers; and in metallo-supramolecular chemistry. This tutorial review covers aspects of CTV chemistry interest to supramolecular, coordination and host-guest chemists as well as those interested in self-organised systems.
