The multi-level creation of novel materials provides the key material foundation for the development of human civilization and society, and is also the inevitable path for material science to move from the laboratory to production and daily life. Molecular materials are prepared by connecting atoms through covalent bonds, while supramolecular materials are constructed by connecting molecules through non-covalent bonds. The creation of novel supramolecular materials, as an indispensable and important link in achieving the multi-level construction of novel materials, has received increasing attention. In recent years, research on the creation of novel supramolecular materials at home and abroad has achieved significant development and produced a series of outstanding results. This symposium is the inheritance and development of the "Macroaromatic Supramolecular Chemistry Symposium." The Macroaromatic Supramolecular Chemistry Symposium has been successfully held for eleven sessions at Zhejiang University, Nanjing University, Fudan University, South China University of Technology, Jilin University, Central China Normal University, Yangzhou University, Northwest A&F University, Sichuan University, Fuzhou University, and University of South China. The symposium adheres to inheritance and development, and has been renamed several times according to the development of the discipline, starting from the "1st Pillararene Supramolecular Chemistry Symposium" in 2011, the "5th Aromatic Supramolecular Chemistry Symposium" in 2015, to the "Macroaromatic Supramolecular Chemistry Symposium" after 2016. Currently, the research content of macroaromatic compounds has become more abundant, with greater emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration to achieve the creation of novel supramolecular materials. Moreover, the research fields of participants have become more extensive, leading to the renaming of the 2025 conference as the "11th Symposium on Novel Supramolecular Materials." This conference will inherit and carry forward the fine traditions of the previous eleven symposia, striving to provide a good platform for exchange and cooperation among experts and scholars. The theme of this conference is "Creation of Novel Supramolecular Materials: New Opportunities for Sustainable Development," aiming to facilitate exchanges and in-depth discussions on basic and applied research related to novel supramolecular materials, further enhance friendship among research groups from different institutions, trigger emerging research hotspots in the interdisciplinary research of supramolecular science with materials science, pharmacy, biology, medicine and other multidisciplinary fields, promote the rapid development of domestic research on novel supramolecular materials, and contribute to the nation's green and sustainable development.

We cordially welcome experts, scholars, and colleagues engaged in research related to novel supramolecular materials from home and abroad to gather in Lanzhou, Gansu, and jointly participate in this symposium. We sincerely thank you for your strong support and look forward to your arrival!
