Conspectus Porphyrin derivatives are ubiquitous in nature and have important biological
roles, such as in light harvesting, oxygen transport, and catalysis. Owing to their intrinsic π …

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 …

Within living systems, molecular-scale responses to stimuli flow together into the intricate
and robust signal transduction networks that process information for an organism. Studies of …

Chirality plays a crucial role in life-sustaining processes, and for this reason asymmetric
synthesis has been a central research theme in many research groups in the field of organic …

This review highlights and summarizes various optically active porphyrin and
phthalocyanine molecules prepared using a wide range of structural modification methods …

This tutorial review summarises different aspects of cooperativity in supramolecular
complexes. We propose a systematic categorisation of cooperativity into cooperative …

Forces to reckon with: Supramolecular complexes, such as the one shown, are normally
based on a combination of different interactions such as ion pairing, hydrogen bonds, and …

Recent advances in supramolecular coordination chemistry have allowed chemists to
synthesize macromolecular complexes that exhibit various properties intrinsic to enzymes …

The widespread use of controlled molecular‐level motion in key natural processes suggests
that great rewards could come from bridging the gap between the present generation of …

The lamprey holds the clue to the link between supramolecular self-assembly and allosteric
ligand binding. Chelate cooperativity in self-assembled structures results in denaturation …
