Cage compounds offer unique binding pockets similar to enzyme-binding sites, which can
be customized in terms of size, shape, and functional groups to point toward the cavity and …

Glycans–simple or complex carbohydrates–play key roles as recognition determinants and
modulators of numerous physiological and pathological processes. Thus, many …

Specific molecular recognition is routine for biology, but has proved difficult to achieve in
synthetic systems. Carbohydrate substrates are especially challenging, because of their …

Developing chiral receptors with an endo-functionalized cavity for chiral recognition is of
great significance in the field of molecular recognition. This study presents two pairs of chiral …

The efficient synthesis of chiral macrocycles with highly enantioselective recognition
remains a challenge. We have addressed this issue by synthesizing a pair of chiral …

Hydrogen bonding is a key governing force in molecular recognition, notably in biological
systems. While it has been studied and exploited by supramolecular chemists for many …

Carbohydrates are important but challenging targets for supramolecular chemists. They
possess complex, irregular and variable structures, and are strongly attracted to water, their …

We report the synthesis and characterization of a three‐dimensional tetraphenylethene‐
based octacationic cage that shows host–guest recognition of polycyclic aromatic …

Hydrogen bonding is prevalent in biological systems, dictating a myriad of life-sustaining
functions in aqueous environments. Leveraging hydrogen bonding for molecular recognition …

The development of synthetic receptors that recognize carbohydrates in water with high
selectivity and specificity is challenging on account of their structural complexity and strong …
