Fullerene chemistry has come a long way since 1990, when the first bulk production of C60
was reported. In the past decade, progress in supramolecular chemistry has opened some …

The employment of weak intermolecular interactions in supramolecular chemistry offers an
alternative approach to project artificial chemical environments like the active sites of …

Separation technology is central to industries as diverse as petroleum, pharmaceuticals,

Since the trailblazing discoveries of Lehn, Cram and Pedersen, supramolecular chemistry
has established itself as a cornerstone of organic chemistry. Supramolecular hosts offer …

The flexibility of biomolecules enables them to adapt and transform as a result of signals
received from the external environment, expressing different functions in different contexts …

Highly-efficient materials and technologies for environmental pollutant treatment and
hydrogen production are urgently needed in" green" 21 st century. Notably, photocatalytic …

The binding of multiple guests by a single entity can lead to new modes of host–guest
interactions and thus new applications in, for example, catalysis and sensing. With the aim of …

Here we report two highly emissive perylene diimide (PDI)-based metallacages and explore
their complexation with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, such as pyrene, triphenylene, and …

This review provides a general overview of the development of fluorescent chemosensors
based on closed three-dimensional architectures and highlights selected examples from …

A strategy for light-powered guest release from a tetrahedral capsule has been developed
by incorporating azobenzene units at its vertices. A new Zn4L4 tetrahedral capsule bearing …
