Herein, we report a novel crown ether\u2010based supramolecular material with tunable LCST properties. The crown ether compound itself, namely\n                    <jats:bold>CG<\/jats:bold>\n                    , is composed of a long ethylene glycol (EG) chain conjugated with dibenzo\u201024\u2010crown\u20108 (DB24C8). Compound\n                    <jats:bold>CG<\/jats:bold>\n                    exhibits good solubility in aqueous solution (20\u00a0mg\/mL) and demonstrates excellent LCST performance, demonstrating a cloud point temperature (\n                    <jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sub>cp<\/jats:sub>\n                    )\u00a0=\u00a030\u00b0C, with a thermal hysteresis \u0394\n                    <jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0=\u00a00.2\u00b0C and good reversibility. Interestingly, the LCST properties can be further modulated through supramolecular complexation between\n                    <jats:bold>CG<\/jats:bold>\n                    and certain cations, enhancing the tunability of the\n                    <jats:bold>CG<\/jats:bold>\n                    molecule.
