The building block modular approach that lies behind coordination polymers (CPs) and
metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) results not only in a plethora of materials that can be …

Supramolecular chemistry originally defined by Lehn as “chemistry beyond molecules”
exploits noncovalent interactions between molecules to form 1D, 2D, and 3D …

Transfer of both chirality and energy information plays an important role in biological
systems. Here we show a chiral donor π-gelator and assembled it with an achiral π-acceptor …

Absorption of light by a molecule (donor, D) generates an excited state, which may
subsequently transfer the excitation to another chromophore (acceptor, A) in the vicinity …

With the introduction of π-conjugated systems in electronic devices and the dream to arrive
at molecular electronics based on these systems, the detailed understanding of the …

In recent years there has been immense interest in studying gels derived from low molecular
mass gelators (supramolecular, or simply molecular gels). The motivation for this is not only …

The discovery and design of small organic molecules capable of gelling aqueous solvents
(hydrogelators) is a rapidly expanding area of research, in particular due to their possible …

It is likely that nanofabrication will underpin many technologies in the 21st century. Synthetic
chemistry is a powerful approach to generate molecular structures that are capable of …

Efficient triplet–triplet annihilation (TTA)-based photon upconversion (UC) is achieved in
supramolecular organogel matrixes. Intense UC emission was observed from donor …

The technique of ionic self‐assembly, ie, the coupling of structurally different building blocks
by electrostatic interactions, a powerful tool to create new material nanostructures and …
