The flexibility of biomolecules enables them to adapt and transform as a result of signals
received from the external environment, expressing different functions in different contexts …

In this review, we describe the recent advances in supramolecular helical assemblies
formed from chiral and achiral small molecules, oligomers (foldamers), and helical and …

Chiral luminescent lanthanide–organic cages have many potential applications in
enantioselective recognition, sensing, and asymmetric catalysis. However, due to the …

Low-molecular-weight gels are currently a hugely important class of materials that are
attracting significant interest. These gels are formed when small molecules self-assemble …

Cocrystal engineering with a noncovalent assembly feature by simple constituent units has
inspired great interest and has emerged as an efficient and versatile route to construct …

Chirality is a basic characteristic of living matter and nature. During the evolution of life on
our planet, nature has favored one kind of chirality, thereby selecting the l-amino acids (with …

Porous organic materials are an emerging class of functional nanostructures with
unprecedented properties. Dynamic covalent assembly of small organic building blocks …

One basic principle regulating self-assembly is associated with the asymmetry of constituent
building blocks or packing models. Using asymmetry to manipulate molecular-level devices …

The study of the complexation of anions, from its beginnings in the late 1960s and 1970s,(1-
3) has moved on from being an area solely of academic interest to a fundamental pillar of …

Supramolecular chemistry aims to exploit the intermolecular interaction as an alternative
basis for control over chemical reactivity. Where synthetic chemists typically covalently …
