English This short review describes synthetic pores that are made from rigid-rod molecules and can bind oligo-and polymers such as polyacetylenes, p-oligophenyls, terpenoids, polypeptides, polysaccharides, and oligonucleotides. The spotlight is on recent breakthroughs to image the longtime elusive pore-polymer host-guest complexes as single giant pseudorotaxanes.
