Macrocycles are molecular entities that display a combination of molecular recognition and
complexation properties with vital implications for host–guest/supramolecular chemistry …

Multivalent interactions can be applied universally for a targeted strengthening of an
interaction between different interfaces or molecules. The binding partners form cooperative …

Supramolecular gels are a fascinating class of soft materials. Their gelators can self-
assemble into nano-or micro-scale superstructures, such as fibers, ribbons, sheets and …

Noncovalent systems are adaptive and allow facile processing and recycling. Can they be at
the same time robust? How can one rationally design such systems? Can they compete with …

Multivalency is a powerful and versatile self-assembly pathway that confers unique
thermodynamic and kinetic behavior onto supramolecular complexes. The diversity of the …

Multifunctional cancer therapeutic nanodevices have been designed and synthesized using
the poly (amidoamine)(PAMAM) dendrimer as a carrier. Partial acetylation of the generation …

Ammonium ions are ubiquitous in chemistry and molecular biology. Considerable efforts
have been undertaken to develop synthetic receptors for their selective molecular …

The complexation behavior of a series of paraquats (G1· 2PF6–G5· 2PF6) and bis
(pyridinium) derivatives (G6· 2PF6–G14· 2PF6) with pillar [5] arene (P5A) host has been …

Inspired by the concept of multivalency in living systems, two mechanically interlocked
molecules have been conceived that incorporate not once or twice but thrice the features of …

Most molecular self‐assembly strategies involve equilibrium systems, leading to a single
thermodynamic product as a result of weak, reversible non‐covalent interactions. Yet, strong …
