Supramolecular interactions based on macrocyclic molecules could provide reversible linker for the fabrication of supramolecular systems via noncovalent interactions mainly including electrostatic interactions, π-π stacking, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and host-guest interactions, which have attracted more and more attention arising from their distinctive properties such as good selectivity, high effificiency, and stimuli responsiveness. For decades, a number of macrocyclic host molecules with cavities have been exploited to encapsulate the guests for the construction of novel supramolecular structures and great potential applications in various fifields such as biomedicine, photoelectricity, and catalysis. Among the macrocyclic host molecules, crown ethers, cyclodextrins (CDs), calix[n]arenes (C[n]As), cucurbit[n]urils (CB[n]s), and pillar[n]arenes (P[n]As) are the most common and deep-researched examples。They all have well-established and hydrophobic cavities which can encapsulate hydrophobic guests and provide ideal platforms for the fabrication of functional supramolecular materials
