Entangling strands in a well-ordered manner can produce useful effects, from shoelaces and
fishing nets to brown paper packages tied up with strings. At the nanoscale, non-crystalline …

Molecular nanotopology—a term we coined recently—is a rapidly developing field of
research that is emerging out of the confluence of chemical topology with the mechanical …

Supramolecular chemistry has grown rapidly over the past three decades, yet synthetic
supramolecular chemists still face several challenges when it comes to characterising their …

Metallo-supramolecular chemistry based on the reversible, directional, and predictable
noncovalent interaction of metal–ligand coordination has been widely applied in …

Self‐assembly of host molecules in aqueous media via metal–ligand coordination is well
developed. However, the preparation of purely covalent counterparts in water has remained …

Understanding the composition, structure and stability of larger synthetic molecules is crucial
for their design, yet currently the analytical tools commonly used do not always provide this …

Achiral [2] catenanes composed of rings with inequivalent sides may adopt chiral co-
conformations. Their stereochemistry depends on the relative orientation of the interlocked …

From being an aesthetic molecular object to a building block for the construction of
molecular machines, catenanes and related mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) …

Imine synthesis has enjoyed a long history as the dynamic covalent reaction of choice for the
construction of purely covalent molecular architectures. In organic solvents, the formation of …

Recent advances in instrumentation and development of computational strategies for ion
mobility mass spectrometry (IM‐MS) studies have contributed to an extensive growth in the …
