Abstract: Supramolecular nanovalves, installed on the surface of mesoporous nanomaterials, could effectively control the targeted release of encapsulated cargo molecules, such as model drug molecules, anti-cancer drugs, oligonucleic acids and so on, under external stimuli, showing great potential in the fields of drug release, gene transfection, sensing etc. Herein, recent research progress on the chemical construction and function study of supramolecular nanovalves based on macrocyclic synthetic receptors was extensively reviewed, together with our own research accomplishment in the field.
