With the serendipitous discovery of crown ethers by Pedersen more than half a century ago
and the subsequent introduction of host–guest chemistry and supramolecular chemistry by …

Macrocyclic host molecules play the central role in host–guest chemistry and
supramolecular chemistry. The highly structural symmetry of macrocyclic host molecules can …

Imidazolium salts, distinct from their parent imidazoles, are made up of a discrete cation and
anion pair, and have found widespread utility as ionic liquids. A lesser known function of …

Imidazolium based receptors selectively recognize anions, and have received more and
more attention. In 2006 and 2010, we reviewed the mechanism and progress of imidazolium …

The design of high‐affinity synthetic host–guest complexes is of paramount importance
because they are key elements in constructing unprecedented supramolecular assemblies …

Herein, we report an achiral anthracene‐based tetracationic nanotube (1⋅ 4Cl−) that shows
two levels of supramolecular chirality: namely, conformationally adaptive host–guest …

Molecular recognition is an emerging field of Supramolecular Chemistry. The major
challenge for supramolecular chemists is detection in an aqueous medium. However, most …

Naphthalimide–rhodamine compound (NR) is developed as a ratiometric fluorescent probe
for ATP detection based on the FRET mechanism. It shows an unexpected high selectivity …

A water-soluble imidazolium-based fluorescent chemosensor senses RNA selectively
through fluorescence enhancement over other biologically relevant biomolecules in …

Chemical derivatives of polyethylenimine (PEI) receptors with either triphenylamine (TPA) or
7-hydroxy-4-methyl-coumarin (Cou) form stable complexes with adenine and guanine …
