Abstract: In this review we summarize the recent progress in synthesis of cycloaramides assisted by three-center hydrogen bonding and the remote steric effect, and their self-assembly behaviors of these macrocycles. The strategies for preparing shape-persistent aromatic oligoamide macrocycles with different cavity sizes are discussed based on the highly efficient, one-step macrocyclization. The self-assembly properties of these cycles can be manipulated by means of altering side chains on the periphery. A brief account of cycloaramides with some applications is also given.

Key words: Cycloaramide, Shape-persistent macrocycle, Three-center hydrogen bond, Self-assembly
