Compartmentalization of the aqueous space within a cell is necessary for life. In similar
fashion to the nanometer-scale compartments in living systems, synthetic water-soluble …

Counterfeiting and inverse engineering of security and confidential documents, such as
banknotes, passports, national cards, certificates, and valuable products, has significantly …

Molecular recognition in water using macrocyclic synthetic receptors constitutes a vibrant
and timely research area of supramolecular chemistry. Pioneering examples on the topic …

The halogen bond occurs when there is evidence of a net attractive interaction between an
electrophilic region associated with a halogen atom in a molecular entity and a nucleophilic …

Hydrogels are promising biomaterials because of their important qualities such as
biocompatibility, biodegradability, hydrophilicity and non-toxicity. These qualities make …

This tutorial review summarizes the continuing exploration of three prominent water-soluble
hosts: cucurbiturils, pillar [n] arenes and deep-cavity cavitands. As we describe, these hosts …

This review discusses one-dimensional supramolecular polymers that form in aqueous
media. First, naturally occurring supramolecular polymers are described, in particular …

The development of supramolecular chemistry dates back to 1987 when Lehn, Cram, and
Pedersen won the Nobel Prize on account of their leading discoveries in the host–guest …

The present review paper deals with the development of catalytic systems in water in the
presence of micelles obtained by addition of surfactants, focusing on the effects of these …

Driven by the development of new functional inks, inkjet‐printed electronics has achieved
several milestones upon moving from the integration of simple electronic elements (eg …
