Azobenzenes are archetypal molecules that have a central role in fundamental and applied
research. Over the course of almost two centuries, the area of azobenzenes has witnessed …

In the confined space of supramolecular systems, the substrate can be forced into a reactive
conformation and labile intermediates may be stabilized while isolated from the bulk …

A visible light photosensitizing metal‐organic cage is applied as an artificial supramolecular
reactor to control the reaction of aryl radicals with terminal olefins under green light/solvent …

The photoisomerization‐induced cytotoxicity in photopharmacology provides a unique
pathway for phototherapy because it is independent of endogenous oxygen. In this study …

We report a new class of arylazopyrazolium-based ionic photoswitches (AAPIPs). These
AAPIPs with different counter ions have been accessed through a modular synthetic …

Excited anthracene is well-known to photodimerize and not to exhibit excimer emission in
isotropic organic solvents. Anthracene (AN) forms two types of supramolecular host–guest …

An amphiphilic phosphodiester‐linked azobenzene trimer has been exploited in the
development of stimuli‐responsive, water‐soluble supramolecular polymers. The trimer can …

Chemical reactions in confined environments are important in areas as diverse as
heterogenous catalysis, environmental chemistry and biochemistry, yet they are much less …

This Feature Article highlights the role of spatial confinement in controlling the fundamental
behavior of molecules. Select examples illustrate the value of using space as a tool to …

Spatially confined structure exhibits surprising physics and chemistry properties that
significantly impact the thermodynamics and kinetics of oxidation reactions. Herein, porous …
