Supramolecular chemistry is a central topic in modern chemistry. It touches on many
traditional disciplines, such as organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry …

The design and development of diverse functional systems in recent years have achieved a
plethora of landmarks in the two cornerstones of supramolecular chemistry, ie, molecular …

Conspectus Proteins exhibit high-binding affinity and selectivity, as well as remarkable
catalytic performance. Their binding pockets are hydrophobic but also contain polar and …

Molecular recognition in water involves contributions due to polar functional group
interactions, partial desolvation of polar and non-polar surfaces and changes in …

Helicity is an archetypal structural motif of many biological systems and provides a basis for
molecular recognition in DNA. Whilst artificial supramolecular hosts are often helical, the …

The incorporation of aryl substituents at the meso-positions of calix [4] pyrrole (C4P)
scaffolds produces aryl-extended (AE) and super-aryl-extended (SAE) calix [4] pyrroles. The …

Metallosupramolecular hosts of nanoscopic dimensions, which are able to serve as
selective receptors and catalysts, are usually composed of only one type of organic ligand …

While host–guest binding is generally a very fast reaction, guest uptake/release sometimes
becomes slow particularly when the host cavity is separated from the outside by relatively …

Molecular folding regulation with environmental stimuli is critical in living and artificial
molecular machine systems. Herein, we described a macrocycle, cyclo [4](1, 3-(4, 6 …

Planar pyridyl N‐oxides are encapsulated in mono‐metallic PdII/PtII‐cages based on a tetra‐
pyridyl calix [4] pyrrole ligand. The exchange dynamics of the cage complexes are slow on …
