Abstract:

As the core field of supramolecular chemistry, host-guest chemistry leverages the dynamic and reversible non-covalent interactions between host and guest molecules to endow systems with unique stimuli-responsiveness, demonstrating potential in the construction of intelligent materials. Incorporating aggregation-induced emission(AIE) fluorophores to functionalize supramolecular monomers serves as a pivotal strategy for equipping supramolecular polymer systems with optical sensing and bioimaging capabilities. In this work, we systematically review the primary synthetic strategies for AIE-active supramolecular polymers driven by host-guest interactions and elaborate on the assembly systems constructed from five categories of classical macrocyclic hosts alongside their current applications. Furthermore, the challenges encountered in the precision preparation, in-situ characterization, and practical implementation of these polymers are discussed in depth.

Key words: Aggregation-induced emission(AIE), Host-guest interaction, Supramolecular polymer, Stimuli-responsiveness
