Self-assembly to build high-level structures, which is ubiquitous in living systems, has
captured the imagination of scientists, striving to emulate the intricacy, homogeneity and …

Single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) polymerization offers an effective protocol for the
environmentally friendly preparation of polymer single crystals (PSCs) with extremely high …

The Biginelli reaction of 3-oxo-N-(2-pyridyl) butanamide with thiourea (or urea) and some
aromatic aldehydes afforded new chemical skeletons containing tetrahydropyrimidine …

Herein, we report in situ transformation of a metal–organic gel (MOG) to a crystalline metal–
organic framework (MOF) and solvent-dependent gelation/crystallization via solvothermal …

A series of bisnaphthalimide (BNI) mesogens (BNI-3Cn and BNIA-3C12) consisting of two
benzoylhydrazine dendronized naphthalimides connected by central links, ie single or triple …

Gel state reactions offer new direction for the reactivity of the organic molecules or metal‐
organic materials upon photoirradiation with shorter reaction times and high yields …

The design and synthesis of homochiral double helicates are reported that are constructed
by means of Ag‐induced supramolecular self‐sorting of saddle‐shaped …

Two similar types of dienes, one rigid and the other flexible, were explored for their gel
formation abilities with Ag (I) salts. The rigid and angular dienes have shown an exceptional …

Two diene molecules were shown to undergo photopolymerization reactions in their metal–
organic gels and xerogels, while their respective crystalline CPs are photostable. These …

This chapter summarises recent advances in solution, HR-MAS and solid-state NMR
techniques to study the structure and dynamics of soft matter. NMR enjoys widespread use …
