Gong et al. (2017) [43] successfully achieved a new AA-type homo-ditopic
cyanostilbene-linked bis-pillar[5]arene by cost-effective Knoevenagel condensation, seen in Fig. 18. In this work, supramolecular polymerization-enabled,
configuration-independent aggregation-induced emission (AIE) systems of
cyanostilbene was achieved through host–guest interaction between pillar[5]
arene and nitrile triazole guests. Interestingly, control-host and control-guest
