Recent advances on triptycene derivatives in supramolecular and materials chemistry

Abstract

Triptycene derivatives, a type of specific aromatic compound, have been attracting much attention in many research areas. Over the past several years, triptycene and its derivatives have been described to be useful and efficient building blocks for the design and synthesis of novel supramolecular acceptors, porous materials and luminescent materials with specific structures and properties. In this review, recent researches on triptycene derivatives in supramolecular and materials chemistry are summarized. Especially, the construction of a new type of macrocyclic arenes and organic cages with triptycene and its derivatives as building blocks are focused on, and their applications in molecular recognition, self-assembly and gas selective sorption are highlighted. Moreover, the applications of triptycene and its derivatives in porous organic materials and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials are also discussed.
