The review presents a bird-eye view on the state of research in the field of giant
nonbiological discrete metal complexes and ions of nanometer size, which are structurally …

Supramolecular chemistry has grown rapidly over the past three decades, yet synthetic
supramolecular chemists still face several challenges when it comes to characterising their …

The allosteric effect is omnipresent in proteins with two distinct binding sites communicating
over a distance to control biological functions and complex processes, which drives an …

Despite dramatic advances in the template-directed synthesis of archetypal [2] rotaxanes,
higher order rotaxanes with multiple molecular components (rings or dumbbells) are …

Supramolecular chemistry in aqueous media is an area with great fundamental and practical
significance. To examine the role of multiple noncovalent interactions in controlled …

Three different dipyridyl ligands were combined with [Pd (CH3CN) 4](BF4) 2 to give mixtures
of homo-and/or heteroleptic coordination cages. The three ligands were chosen so that one …

Since the emergence of mechanical bonds, considerable research efforts have been
devoted to the construction of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs), including …

In the design of dynamic supramolecular systems used in molecular machines, it is
important to understand the binding preferences between the macrocycle and stations along …

Here we report the synthesis and structural characterization of four [7] rotaxanes formed by
coordinating hybrid inorganic–organic [2] rotaxanes to a central {Ni12} core. X-ray single …

Octahedral coordination cages of the general formula [Pd6L12](BF4) 12 were obtained by
combining [Pd (CH3CN) 4](BF4) 2 with heteroditopic N-donor ligands. Four different ligands …
