© The Royal Society of Chemistry. A facile synthesis of decatosylate pillar[5]arene 1 is reported in excellent yield (>70%). The high yield is attributed to a self-template effect of the pendant tosylate arms. The X-ray crystal structure shows the formation of a linear supramolecular polymer, sta...
