Abstract
molecules. Therefore, macrocyclic hosts show significant potential in constructing assorted functional materials, such as hydrogels, [29][30] functional supramolecular polymers, [31][32] artificial light harvesting systems 33 In their work, they reported the synthesis of 19 structurally related dihomooxacalix [4] In summary, this Research Topic has highlighted how the fields of macrocyclic and supramolecular chemistry are still inextricably linked. The field has matured considerably in recent years and is now beginning to show more and more potential for real-world applications to address important issues across the sciences.All authors listed have made a substantial, direct and intellectual contribution to the work, and approved it for publication.
