The history of isomeric types of organic molecules has passed through several important
stages:(1) Molecules that differ from each other with different numbers and types of atoms;(2) …

More than a quarter of a century after the first metal template synthesis of a [2] catenane in
Strasbourg, there now exists a plethora of strategies available for the construction of …

Research on mechanically interlocked molecules has advanced substantially over the last
five decades. A large proportion of the published work focusses on the synthesis of these …

Salens are among the most widely studied ligands in chemistry. They are primarily applied
in homogeneous catalysis, a use that helps to increase our knowledge of environmentally …

Over years, mathematicians, biologists and chemists have capitalised on the highly useful
concept of orthogonality for developing sophisticated complex systems. The use of …

The most relevant results published from 2006 up to 2010 are reported; they especially
regard the synthetic pathway and the structural and physico-chemical aspects of planar or …

The formation of catenated systems can be simplified greatly if one or more rings are
generated via self-assembly. Herein we exploit the orthogonality of coordination-driven self …

Rotaxanes are challenging and interesting because of their potential applications in
nanotechnology and molecular machines.[1] Template synthesis has been widely used to …

We have designed a new type of bis (N2O2) chelate ligand that affords a C-shaped O6 site
on the metalation of the N2O2 sites. UV− vis and 1H NMR titration clearly showed that the …

Mehr als ein Vierteljahrhundert nach der ersten Metalltemplatsynthese eines [2] Catenans in
Straßburg existiert nun eine Fülle an Strategien zum Aufbau mechanisch verbundener und …
