The chemical reagents used to achieve a predictable and programmable time control of the
pH of water solutions are reviewed with the purpose to present a toolbox of instruments to be …

The molecular switches and machines arena has entered a new phase in which molecular
machines operate under out‐of‐equilibrium conditions using appropriate fuel. Unlike the …

We demonstrate here the use of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-cyanopropanoic acid (CPA) and
nitroacetic acid (NAA) as convenient chemical fuels to drive the dissipative operation of DNA …

This work reports that the composition of a dynamic library (DL) of interconverting imines can
be controlled over time in a dissipative fashion by the addition of an activated carboxylic acid …

Dissipative control of the fluorescence of a 1,3-dipyrenyl calix[4]arene in the cone conformation -
Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry (RSC Publishing) DOI:10.1039/D1OB02096J Royal Society …

In this work, we report that 2‐cyano‐2‐phenylpropanoic acid and its p‐Cl, p‐CH3 and p‐
OCH3 derivatives can be used as chemical fuels to control the geometry of the calix [4] …

Conspectus The achievement of artificial systems capable of being maintained in out-of-
equilibrium states featuring functional properties is a main goal of current chemical research …

In this report it is shown that nitroacetic acid 1 (O2NCH2CO2H) can be conveniently used to
control the pH of a water solution over time. Time-programmable sequences of the kind pH1 …

The operation of a dissipative network composed of two or three different crown‐ether
receptors and an alkali metal cation can be temporally driven by the use (combined or not) …

The satisfactory rationalization of complex reactive pathways in solution chemistry may
greatly benefit from the combined use of advanced experimental and theoretical …
