Conductive flexible hydrogels have attracted immense attentions recently due to their wide
applications in wearable sensors. However, the poor mechanical properties of most …

Chiral supramolecular polymers were constructed through the host-guest complexation of
an octaphosphonate biscavitand and a chiral diammonium guest. Isothermal titration …

Porous Liquids (PLs) are a new class of material that possess both fluidity and permanent
porosity. As such they can act as enhanced, selective solvents and may ultimately find …

A brand-new self-folding biscavitand was synthesized from a feet-to-feet-connected
bisresorcinarene. The X-ray crystal structure of the biscaivtand showed that the two cavities …

Uncommon entropy‐driven cooperativity is reported in the guest binding of an
octaphosphonate bis‐cavitand. Isothermal titration calorimetry determined the …

X-ray crystallography of an acetoxy-protected bisresorcinarene and biscavitands possessing
phosphonate and dialkylsilyl bridges revealed that the bisresorcinarene and the …

Octaphosphonate biscavitand and self-folding deep biscavitand show strong positive and
negative cooperativity, respectively. The mechanism of the cooperativity is discussed in …

A resorcinarene is a synthetic macrocycle consisting of four resorcinol molecules covalently
linked by methylene bridges. The interannular bridges produce a cavitand that has a bowl …
