Cage compounds offer unique binding pockets similar to enzyme-binding sites, which can
be customized in terms of size, shape, and functional groups to point toward the cavity and …

Research on organic cages has blossomed over the past few years into a mature field of
study which can contribute to solving some of the challenging problems. In this review we …

Although the synthetic chemistry leading to interlocking molecular [n] catenanes of organic
polyhedra (n= 2–3) and rings (n= 2–130) is established, the analogous chemistry that …

Gases have played a crucial role in various industries, spanning from manufacturing and
medicine to electronics. In these industries, the attainment of pure gases through effective …

The reversible condensation of catechols and boronic acids to boronate esters is a
paradigm reaction in dynamic covalent chemistry. However, facile backward hydrolysis is …

The construction of structurally well-defined supramolecular hosts to accommodate
catalytically active species within a cavity is a promising way to address catalyst …

Mechanically interlocked structures are fascinating synthetic targets and the topological
complexity achieved through catenation offers numerous possibilities for the construction of …

The efficient preparation of chiral porous organic cages (POCs) with specific functions is
challenging, and their application in asymmetric catalysis has not previously been explored …

Chiral recognition and discrimination is not only of significance in biological processes but
also a powerful method to fabricate functional supramolecular materials. Herein, a pair of …

Here we report a two-step, hierarchical synthesis that assembles a trigonal prismatic organic
cage into a more symmetric, higher-order tetrahedral cage, or 'cage of cages'. Both the …
