This review surveys recent progress in the chemistry of polycyclic heteroaromatic molecules
with a focus on structural diversity and synthetic methodology. The article covers literature …

With the serendipitous discovery of crown ethers by Pedersen more than half a century ago
and the subsequent introduction of host–guest chemistry and supramolecular chemistry by …

Based on Coulomb's Law alone, electrostatic repulsion between two anions is expected to
prevent their dimerization. Contrary to that idea, this Tutorial Review will present evidence …

Sequence-controlled supramolecular polymers offer new design paradigms for generating
stimuli-responsive macromolecules with enhanced functionalities. The dynamic character of …

Allosteric regulation of protein structure and function is a hallmark of biology. The structures
of protein-like abiological foldamers have been subject to allosteric control, however …

The separation of sulfate anions (SO42−) from water is a great challenge due to its high
hydration energy. Using synthetic receptors that are designed with a size-complementary …

Halogen bonding occurs between molecules featuring Lewis acidic halogen substituents
and Lewis bases. It is often rationalized as a predominantly electrostatic interaction and thus …

Supramolecular polymers have enabled far-reaching fundamental science and the
development of diverse macromolecular technologies owing to the reversible and …

Fluorophores are powerful tools for the study of chemistry, biology, and physics. However,
fluorescence is severely impaired when concentrations climb above 5 μM as a result of …

Phosphate remediation is important for preventing eutrophication in fresh waters and
maintaining water quality. One approach for phosphate removal involves the utilization of …
