On the basis of many literature measurements, a critical overview is given on essential
noncovalent interactions in synthetic supramolecular complexes, accompanied by analyses …

Forces to reckon with: Supramolecular complexes, such as the one shown, are normally
based on a combination of different interactions such as ion pairing, hydrogen bonds, and …

We provide a simple explanation for X− H bond contraction and the associated blue shift
and decrease of intensity in IR spectrum of the so-called improper hydrogen bonds. This …

Carbon-oxygen (CH··· O) hydrogen bonding represents an unusual category of molecular
interactions first documented in biological structures over 4 decades ago. Although CH··· O …

Molecules are held together mainly by forces acting between individual atoms. Does the
same apply to molecular clusters? Does intermolecular cohesion depend on weak bonds …

This manuscript describes the role of non-classical hydrogen bonds (NCHBs), specifically C–
H⋯ O interactions, in modern synthetic organic transformations. Our goal is to point out the …

Cucurbit [n] urils (CB [n], n= 5–8) have been prepared, separated, and purified, and the
structure of their solid state assemblies has been addressed. A number of general features …

This Account reviews the progress made by us on creating porous molecular crescents,
helices, and macrocycles based on aromatic oligoamides. Inspired by natural pore-or cavity …

Oxyanion holes are commonly found in many enzyme structures. They are crucial for the
stabilization of high-energy oxyanion intermediates or transition states through hydrogen …

Organic co‐crystal engineering is a promising method to make multifunctional materials.
Here, the marriage of macrocyclic chemistry and co‐crystal engineering provides a smart …
