Supramolecular chemistry is a comparatively young field that to date has mainly been
focused on building a foundation of fundamental understanding. With much progress in this …

This Tutorial Review provides a short survey of anion sensing by small molecule anion
receptors, molecular ensembles and chemodosimeters. The review highlights the many …

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Charles Pedersen's discovery of crown ethers, what
is widely considered the birth of supramolecular chemistry. Since then, the field has …

A novel strategy for the recognition of anions in water using charge-neutral σ-hole halogen
and chalcogen bonding acyclic hosts is demonstrated for the first time. Exploiting the …

Our desire to understand how the individual molecules that make up cells organize, interact,
and communicate to form living systems has led to the burgeoning field of chemical biology …

Phosphate anions are one of the most important constituents of living systems. Together with
heterocyclic bases and sugars, phosphates make up DNA, the hereditary element of living …

This review discusses supramolecular biofunctional materials, a novel class of biomaterials
formed by small molecules that are held together via noncovalent interactions. The …

Fluorescent sensors are an important part of the analytical scientist's toolbox. The use of
fluorescent PET (Photoinduced Electron Transfer) sensors has seen particular growth in …

Chemically induced switching of luminescence remains one of the more dramatic visual
phenomena to be found in a laboratory. The past sliver of this century provides enough …

Supramolecular chemistry in water is a constantly growing research area because
noncovalent interactions in aqueous media are important for obtaining a better …
