Photoresponsive supramolecular self-assembly of monofunctionalized pillar[5]arene based on stiff stilbene.
We report a photoresponsive monofunctionalized pillar[5]arene based on stiff stilbene. The Z isomer, Z-1, tends to form self-complexing [1]pseudorotaxanes and [c2] daisy chains, whereas the E analog, E-1, forms supramolecular polymers.
