Chiral π-conjugated molecules provide new materials with outstanding features for current
and perspective applications, especially in the field of optoelectronic devices. In thin films …

Due to the characteristics of optical rotation, selective emission of polarized light, and
circular dichroism, circularly polarized luminescent materials have aroused extensive …

Light-driven phenomena both in living systems and nonliving materials have enabled truly
fascinating and incredible dynamic architectures with terrific forms and functions. Recently …

A chiral electrochemically responsive molecular universal joint (EMUJ) was synthesized by
fusing a macrocyclic pillar [6] arene (P [6]) to a ferrocene‐based side ring. A single crystal of …

The last twenty years have witnessed increasing research activity in the area of
supramolecular chemistry of 1: 1 co-assembly of melamine (M)–cyanuric acid (CA), since …

Azo-functionalised materials are of special interest due to their photochromic nature, ie
reversible trans–cis isomerisation upon photoirradiation. The combination of photosensitivity …

One of the most fascinating subjects in areas such as nanoscience and biomimetic
chemistry is concerned with the construction of novel supramolecular nanoscopic …

Photocontrol of molecular alignment is an exceptionally-intelligent and useful strategy. It
enables us to control optical coefficients, peripheral molecular alignments, surface relief …

We describe a novel class of tetraphenylbenzene-based discotic molecules with exceptional
self-assembling properties. Absorption and fluorescence studies confirmed the formation of …

The interest of circular dichroism in the solid state is stimulated by several needs, such as
the desire to get solvent free spectra, the insolubility of the sample or the intrinsic process in …
