Conspectus Macrocyclic hosts are the principal tools used in supramolecular chemistry
because they can recognize other small molecules through non-covalent interactions …

Macrocycles denoted as saucer [n] arenes (n= 4, 5) were easily synthesized by the one‐pot
condensation of 2, 7‐dimethoxynaphthalene (2, 7‐DMN) and paraformaldehyde in the …

Macrocyclic hosts with a well‐defined cavity are particularly appealing for supramolecular
chemistry, but they are still rare. In this research, we reported a new class of macrocyclic …

Noncovalent interactions between all the neighboring components in biomolecular
machines are responsible for their synchronized motion and thus complex functions. This …

Potentiometric ion-selective electrodes (ISEs), which rely on selective and lipophilic
ionophores, are commonly employed in clinical diagnostics. However, there are very limited …

Naphthotubes are a class of macrocycles with well-defined cavities and are appealing for
molecular recognition and smart materials. In this research, we report two types of …

We report a quite flexible naphthol-based cage (so-called “naphthocage”) which adopts a
self-inclusion conformation in its free state and is able to bind singly charged organic cations …

Many molecular machines are built from modular components with well-defined motile
capabilities, such as axles and wheels. Hinges are particularly useful, as they provide the …

New types of C2-symmetric chiral macrodiolides are readily obtained via chiral N, N′-
dioxide-scandium (III) complex-promoted asymmetric tandem Friedel–Crafts alkylation …

In the present work, we have introduced a series of stable radical-doped coordination
compounds composed of donor–acceptor structures and shown to produce organic radicals …
