Chirality is a universal phenomenon in molecular and biological systems, denoting an
asymmetric configurational property where an object cannot be superimposed onto its mirror …

Desymmetrization of a symmetric skeleton enables late-stage functionalization of molecules.
However, reagent-controlled desymmetrization by site-selective reactions of symmetric …

The addition of two unsymmetric malonate esters to the Buckminster fullerene C60 can lead
to 22 spectroscopically distinguishable isomeric products and therefore represents a …

The present review is aimed at highlighting outlooks for cyclophanic 1, 3-diketones as a new
type of versatile ligands and building blocks of the nanomaterial for sensing and bioimaging …

Tumor selectivity is yet a challenge in chemotherapy-based cancer treatment. A series of
calixarenes derivatized at the lower rim with 3-phenyl-1H-pyrazole units with variable upper …

A missing, inherently chiral member of the calix [4] arene family denoted “catechol [4] arene”
was synthesized. Its properties were studied and compared to the ones of its close relatives …

Iteroselectivity is the selectivity that governs the number of repeating chemical
transformations that occur on a substrate bearing multiple identical reactive functions or …

Germanium is particularly suitable for the design of FTIR-based biosensors for proteins. The
grafting of stable and thin organic layers on germanium surfaces remains, however …

In the biomimetic context, many studies have evidenced the importance of the 1st and 2nd
coordination sphere of a metal ion for controlling its properties. Here, we propose to …

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a persistent organic pollutant and widespread in the
environment. Three hosts have been synthesized based upon the formation of a fluorous …
