A category of parallel π‐stacking interaction, termed pancake bonding, is surveyed. The
main characteristics are: the interaction occurs among radicals with highly delocalized π …

Radical-pairing interactions between conjugated organic π-radicals are relative newcomers
to the inventory of molecular recognition motifs explored in supramolecular chemistry. The …

It has been about 40 years since the field of organic conducting polymers was ignited by the
demonstration of metallic conductivity in polyacetylene. A retrospective view of this research …

Two intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded arylhydrazone (aryl= phenyl or naphthyl) molecular
switches have been synthesized, and their full and reversible switching between the E and Z …

Helices have long attracted the attention of chemists, both for their inherent chiral structure
and their potential for applications such as the separation of chiral compounds or the …

Abstract Two [3] catenane 'molecular flasks' have been designed to create stabilized, redox-
controlled tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) dimers, enabling their spectrophotometric and structural …

Aromatic stacking has played a significant role in the design of discrete supramolecular
systems. However, for many years, the stacking of conjugated radical cations has been …

In this work, a bicyclo [4.4. 1] undecane scaffold is used to hold oligo (phenylene
ethynylene) units in a cofacially stacked arrangement along the entire length of the …

Molecular actuation by stepwise electrochemical reduction is demonstrated for a cyclophane
that exhibits a pronounced conformational transition from a closed cavity with cofacially …

Control and switching of the interactions between π-conjugated molecules are of great
interest for the construction of functional π-assemblies toward electrical and optical …
