Abstract

Abstract : Front Cover : In article number1800593 by Yan Wang, Ying‐Wei Yang, and co‐workers, two AIE‐active pillararene tetramers are synthesized, which are bridged by tetraphenylethene and have different lengths of carbon chains, two neutral guests possessing three binding sites, and different lengths of carbon‐chain linkers. A stimuli‐responsive supramolecular gel with blue fluorescent emission and supramolecular assembly in solution with fluorescent enhancement are obtained through host‐guest interactions depending on the lengths of carbon chains and the flexibility of the arms.
