Shape induced sorting <i>via</i> rim-to-rim complementarity in the formation of pillar[5, 6]arene-based supramolecular organogels

Abstract

The first two-component rim-to-rim pillar[6]arene-based supramolecular organogels were prepared. Shape complementarity was found to be an important determinant in the formation of such gels which also show shape-induced sorting in their formation.
