In recent years, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have become an area of intense
research interest because of their adjustable pores and nearly limitless structural diversity …

The tetracationic cyclophane, cyclobis (paraquat‐p‐phenylene), also known as the little blue
box, constitutes a modular receptor that has facilitated the discovery of many host–guest …

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

The past quarter of a century has witnessed an increasing engagement on the part of
physicists and chemists in the design and synthesis of molecular machines de novo. This …

Ever since their discovery, stable organic radicals have received considerable attention from
chemists because of their unique optical, electronic, and magnetic properties. Currently, one …

This review deals with a very peculiar molecule,[Ru (bpy) 3] 2+(bpy: 2, 2′-bipyridine), and
its interaction with photons and electrons. We summarize the properties that make [Ru (bpy) …

Hemithioindigo-based molecular motors are powered by nondamaging visible light and
provide very fast directional rotations at ambient conditions. Their ground state energy …

A tristable [2] catenane, composed of a macrocyclic polyether incorporating 1, 5-
dioxynaphthalene (DNP) and tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) units along with a 4, 4′-bipyridinium …

Photochromic and nonphotochromic luminescent bipyridinium-based supramolecular
isomers [Cd (CPBPY)(BDC)(H2O)] n (1) and {[Cd (CPBPY)(BDC)]· H2O} n (2)(CPBPY= N-(3 …

Crystalline solids are a promising platform for the development of molecular machines. They
have the potential of combining the molecular-level control of physical properties caused by …
