Conspectus Hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) play important roles in imparting functionality to the
basic molecules of life by stabilizing their structures and directing their interactions …

This mini-review summarizes the seminal exploration of aqueous supramolecular chemistry
of crown ether macrocycles. In history, most research of crown ethers were focusing on their …

Control of self-assembly is significant to the preparation of supramolecular materials, but the
control of hydration, responsiveness, dimension, catalysis of macrocyclic amphiphiles in an …

The efficient utilization of the metallic Zn in rechargeable aqueous Zn‐ion batteries (RAZBs)
struggle to suffer from parasitic Zn dendrite formation, hydrogen evolution reactions as well …

Here, we report a water-induced supramolecular polymer adhesive formed from confined
water and an intrinsically amphiphilic macrocyclic self-assembly in a nanophase-separated …

Constitutionally adaptive chemistry of selenium-containing crown ethers (CEs) offers a new
platform for controlling/switching the hydration of bolaamphiphile skeletons in water in an …

A new heterodimeric crown amphiphile was fabricated, wherein the oxacrown and
selencrown ethers provided the desired molecular framework for hydrophilicity and …

Considerable interest in hydrogen bonding involving chalcogen has been growing since the
IUPAC committee has redefined hydrogen bonding. Not only the focus is on unconventional …
