Luminescence quenching is a process exploited in transversal applications in science and
technology and it has been studied for a long time. The luminescence quenching …

The year 2022 marks the 30th anniversary of the first reports of polyrotaxanes in the
scientific literature. During the past three decades, many combinations of molecular rings …

Over the past century, adsorption has been investigated extensively in equilibrium systems,
with a focus on the van der Waals interactions associated with physisorption and electronic …

Pumps and motors are essential components of the world as we know it. From the complex
proteins that sustain our cells, to the mechanical marvels that power industries, much we …

One important feature of enzyme catalysis is the induced-fit conformational change after
binding substrates. Herein, we report a biomimetic water-soluble molecular capsule …

The tetracationic cyclophane, cyclobis (paraquat‐p‐phenylene), also known as the little blue
box, constitutes a modular receptor that has facilitated the discovery of many host–guest …

We report a new class of synthetic molecular pumps that use a stepwise information ratchet
mechanism to achieve the kinetic gating required to sequester their macrocyclic substrates …

Stimuli-responsive intelligent molecular machines/devices are of current research interest
due to their potential application in minimized devices. Constructing molecular …

Molecular machines are essential dynamic components for fuel production, cargo delivery,
information storage and processing in living systems. Scientists have demonstrated that they …

Radical-pairing interactions between conjugated organic π-radicals are relative newcomers
to the inventory of molecular recognition motifs explored in supramolecular chemistry. The …
