• materials. Keywords: hydrogen-bonded macrocycle; orthogonal self-assembly; shape-persistent; supramolecular polymer; Introduction Host–guest interactions, particularly those involving macrocycles as hosts [1], have found a myriad of applications in supramolecular chemistry [2][3][4] owing to their ability

• to create noncovalent, dynamic, yet in some cases strong forces between molecules. Adding an additional element of interactions to supramolecular systems endows them with a feature of “orthogonal self-assembly”, a process in which molecular species are assembled into aggregates by two or more types
