Surface and interfacial chemistry is of fundamental importance in functional nanomaterials
applied in catalysis, energy storage and conversion, medicine, and other nanotechnologies …

Research directed toward the goal of molecular gyroscopes since the coverage of a
previous review (2002) is described. Such species are a subclass of molecular rotors, which …

The solid state is typically not well suited to sustaining fast molecular motion, but in recent
years a variety of molecular machines, switches and rotors have been successfully …

Small, apolar aromatic groups, such as phenyl rings, are commonly included in the
structures of fluorophores to impart hindered intramolecular rotations, leading to desirable …

Multi-twisted molecules, especially those with more than four branched rotation axes, have
served as superior prototypes in diverse fields like molecular machines, optical materials …

Growth of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as single crystals is extremely challenging.
Inaccessibility of open‐structured single‐crystal COFs prevents the exploration of structure …

Natural gas (methane, CH4) is widely considered as a promising energy carrier for mobile
applications. Maximizing the storage capacity is the primary goal for the design of future …

A topochemical polymerization governed by a topotactic polymorphic transition is reported.
A monomer functionalized with azide and an internal alkyne crystallized as an unreactive …

Herein we report a crystalline molecular rotor with rotationally modulated triplet emission
that displays macroscopic dynamics in the form of crystal moving and/or jumping, also …

Dynamic processes are responsible for the functionality of a range of materials,
biomolecules, and catalysts. We report a detailed systematic study of the modulation of …
