Tunable Supramolecular Ag<sup>+</sup>-Host Interactions in Pillar[<i>n</i>]arene[<i>m</i>]quinones and Ensuing Specific Binding to 1-Alkynes

We developed an improved, robust synthesis of a series of pillar[<i>6</i>]arenes with a varying number (0–3) of quinone moieties in the ring. This easy-to-control variation yielded a gradually less electron-rich cavity in going from zero to three quinone units, as shown from the strength...
