The review presents a bird-eye view on the state of research in the field of giant
nonbiological discrete metal complexes and ions of nanometer size, which are structurally …

Luminescent lanthanide (Ln) complexes based on chelate effects will be introduced using a
series of hexadentate bipyridine derivatives as their ligand moieties. The molecules form a …

Dynamic covalent component self-sorting processes have been investigated for constituents
of different cyclic orders, macrocycles and macrobicyclic cages based on multiple reversible …

Square-like metallamacrocyclic palladium (II) complexes [M8L4] 8+(1–7) were synthesized
by reacting aromatic dipyrazole ligands (H2L1–H2L3 with pyromellitic arylimide-, 1, 4, 5, 8 …

A class of rotaxane is created, not by encapsulating a conventional linear thread, but rather
by wrapping a large cucurbit [10] uril macrocycle about a three-dimensional, cylindrical …

Different from the current paradigms of chemistry, a switchable catalytic system is presented
that does not rely on a molecular switch in different toggling states but on a smart seven …

Implementing transient processes in networks of dynamic molecules holds great promise for
developing new functional behaviours. Here we report that trichloroacetic acid can be used …

The immense discriminative capacity of the human olfactory chemosensory systems relies
on the generation of a combinatorial signal in response to the interaction of a particular …

Two constitutional dynamic libraries (CDLs)—each containing two amines, two dialdehydes,
and two metal salts—have been found to self-sort, generating two pairs of imine-based …

A major hurdle in the development of complex constitutional dynamic networks (CDNs) is
the lack of strategies to simultaneously control the output of two (or more) interconnected …
