The first synthetic molecular trefoil knot was prepared in the late 1980s. However, it is only in
the last few years that more complex small‐molecule knot topologies have been realized …

Interlocked molecules are a type of supramolecules whose sub-components are held
together not by covalent bonds but non-covalent interactions. Examples include rotaxanes …

While the majority of knots are made from the metal-template approach, the use of
entangled, constrained knotted loops to modulate the coordination of the metal ions remains …

Although significant progress has been made in improving cycling performance of silicon-
based electrodes, few studies have been performed on the architecture effect on polymer …

We report on the stereoselective synthesis of trefoil knots of single topological handedness
in up to 90% yield (over two steps) through the formation of trimeric circular helicates from …

Though the use of conventional self‐assembled architectures in functional applications
involving advanced energy chemistries is an important research area, it remains largely …

A polyterpyridinyl building block-based nutlike hexagonal bismetallo architecture with a
central hollow Star of David was assembled by a stepwise strategy. This nanoarchitecture …

Laterally functionalized pillar [5] arenes were synthesized for the first time by bromination at
the methylene bridge of dimethoxypillar [5] arene. The synthesized molecule was then used …

As one of the most prolifically produced plastics in the world, poly (vinyl chloride)(PVC)
suffers from mechanical brittleness and low toughness. Compared with traditional phthalate …

Despite the several available strategies to build complex supramolecular constructs, only a
handful of different molecular knots have been synthesised so far. Here, in response to the …
