Cucurbit [n] urils (Q [n] s or CB [n] s), as a classical of artificial organic macrocyclic hosts,
were found to have excellent advantages in the fabricating of tunable and smart organic …

Cucurbit [n] uril supramolecular chemistry has developed rapidly since 2001 when different
cucurbit [n] uril homologues (Q [n]) were successfully separated in pure form. The …

The widespread use of molecular machines in biology has long suggested that great
rewards could come from bridging the gap between synthetic molecular systems and the …

Natural molecular machines require a continuous fuel supply to perform motions and/or
remain in a functional state. Consequently, the aim of developing artificial devices and …

We report on rotaxanes featuring a pyridyl-acyl hydrazone moiety on the axle as a
photo/thermal-switchable macrocycle binding site. The pyridyl-acyl E-hydrazone acts as a …

Molecular machines lie at the center of living systems by taking a role in all fundamental
processes that constitute life including cell division, cellular trafficking, and macromolecule …

Hydrogen ion autocatalytic reactions, especially in combination with an appropriate negative
feedback process, show a wide range of dynamical phenomena, like clock behavior …

Abstract A linear viologen (bis [4-(4-pyridinyl) phenyl] viologen, BPPV) characterized by a
fully-conjugated structure was synthesized through Zinke reaction. BPPV consists of a …

This work aimed to render phenomenologically autonomous the otherwise stepwise
operation of a catenane‐based molecular switch, which is chemically triggered by the …

Fluorescent [2] rotaxane BC12P5 is successfully constructed with 1, 4‐diethoxypillar [5]
arene as wheel over a long alkyl axle with Bodipy chromophore as one stopper for the first …
