An oxidation thionation strategy was used to replace a single dialkoxybenzene panel in the parent pillar[5]arene. 1H NMR spectroscopic titration experiments, supported by density functional theory computational studies, revealed that P[4]A[1]SMe show starkly modulated host guest binding properties for electron-deficient aliphatic guests.ChemistryArticleSCOPUS10.1055/a-1806-59992-s2.0-8512941573414372096
