In this review, we describe the recent advances in supramolecular helical assemblies
formed from chiral and achiral small molecules, oligomers (foldamers), and helical and …

In nature, chemical conversions take place in a confined environment and are closely
geared to each other such that the product of one reaction is the substrate or catalyst of the …

Amphiphilic molecules, of which soap is a typical example, possess antagonistic hydrophilic
and hydrophobic moieties in the same molecule. Carbohydrate amphiphiles, commonly …

Water-soluble, self-assembled nanocapsules composed of a functional bilayer membrane
and enclosed guest molecules can provide smart (that is, condition responsive) sensors for …

Exploring the chemistry of synthesis, mechanisms of polymerization, reaction engineering of
step-growth and chain-growth polymerization, polymer characterization, thermodynamics …

This review describes the possibilities of using hard templates to create nanostructured “soft”
materials, for example, polymer networks, carbon nitrides, or carbonaceous materials, that …

Periodic mesoporous silicas (PMSs) give enormous stimulus to the field of nanostructured
organic− inorganic composite materials, opening new horizons for selective organic …

The structures and catalytic properties of zeolites have been intensively investigated as
prototypes of acidic industrial catalysts. 1-12 Zeolites were first introduced as catalysts for …

High flammability of polymers has become a major issue which has restricted its
applications. Recently, highly crystalline materials and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) …

A prolific and synergetic interplay of rare-earth metal components and organoaluminum
reagents is of fundamental importance in Ziegler-type catalysts used in diene …
