Directed motion at the nanoscale is a central attribute of life, and chemically driven motor
proteins are nature's choice to accomplish it. Motivated and inspired by such …

The tetracationic cyclophane, cyclobis (paraquat‐p‐phenylene), also known as the little blue
box, constitutes a modular receptor that has facilitated the discovery of many host–guest …

Radical-pairing interactions between conjugated organic π-radicals are relative newcomers
to the inventory of molecular recognition motifs explored in supramolecular chemistry. The …

Along with the advent of supramolecular chemistry, research on fullerene receptors based
on noncovalent bonding interactions has attracted a lot of attention. Here, we present the …

The σ-hole and π-hole interactions allow for a systematic understanding of some features of
the attractive interactions involving elements of groups 13–18 of the periodic table and of …

Collisional intermolecular interactions between excited states form short-lived dimers and
complexes that lead to the emergence of excimer/exciplex emission of lower energy, a …

The host-guest recognition between two macrocycles to form hierarchical non-intertwined
ring-in-ring assemblies remains an interesting and challenging target in noncovalent …

Since the emergence of mechanical bonds, considerable research efforts have been
devoted to the construction of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs), including …

A straightforward method for the synthesis of a series of hitherto unknown 1-azapyrenes is
reported, which relies on a combination of Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with …

A series of 5, 7, 9-substituted 2-azapyrenes were synthesized for the first time. The synthesis
relies on Brønsted acid promoted benzannulation of alkyne precursors prepared by …
