Incorporation of multiple functional molecules with unique structures can endow gel materials with outstanding performance in adsorption. Herein, self-assembly of structurally simple trispyridine molecules of 1,3,5-tris(4-pyridylmethoxyl)benzene achieves supramolecular gels with two different nanofiber or nanotube morphologies depending on difference in gelation temperature and cooling rate, and the self-assembled materials have been successfully stabilized though covalent capture to obtain stable nanofiber and nanotube materials with additional pillar[5]arene groups. Owing to the positively charged pyridinium networks, host-guest interaction of pillar[5]arene and different morphologies, the materials show diverse multifunctional adsorption performance, including selective uptake for cationic dye, molecular shape recognition for dinitrobenzene isomers, and remarkable adsorption for iodine capture. The tubular material shows boosted iodine adsorption via synergistic effect, and the capacity for iodine reaches up to 2.29 g g−1 via vapor adsorption and 2.95 g g−1 in solution.

稳定的纳米管和纳米纤维凝胶材料实现多功能吸附
结合具有独特结构的多种功能分子可以赋予凝胶材料优异的吸附性能。在此,结构简单的 1,3,5-三(4-吡啶基甲氧基)苯三吡啶分子的自组装实现了具有两种不同纳米纤维或纳米管形态的超分子凝胶,这取决于凝胶温度和冷却速度的差异,以及自组装材料通过共价捕获成功稳定纳米纤维和纳米管材料,并具有额外的柱[5]芳烃基团。由于带正电荷的吡啶网络、柱[5]芳烃的主客体相互作用和不同的形貌,该材料表现出多种多功能吸附性能,包括对阳离子染料的选择性吸收,二硝基苯异构体的分子形状识别,以及碘捕获的显着吸附。管状材料通过协同效应显示出增强的碘吸附,碘容量高达 2.29 g g-1通过蒸气吸附和 2.95 g g -1在溶液中。
