Synthetic molecular probes, chemosensors, and nanosensors used in combination with
innovative assay protocols hold great potential for the development of robust, low-cost, and …

It is not a coincidence that both chirality and noncovalent interactions are ubiquitous in
nature and synthetic molecular systems. Noncovalent interactivity between chiral molecules …

Compartmentalization of the aqueous space within a cell is necessary for life. In similar
fashion to the nanometer-scale compartments in living systems, synthetic water-soluble …

Transition metal catalysis is of utmost importance for the development of sustainable
processes in academia and industry. The activity and selectivity of metal complexes are …

Molecular recognition in water using macrocyclic synthetic receptors constitutes a vibrant
and timely research area of supramolecular chemistry. Pioneering examples on the topic …

The interest in functional supramolecular systems for the design of innovative materials and
technologies, able to fundamentally change the world, is growing at a high pace. The huge …

The product of the condensation reaction between glycoluril and formaldehyde was first
reported in a thesis by Eberhard Meyer in 1904 (1) and then published by Behrend and co …

This tutorial review summarizes the continuing exploration of three prominent water-soluble
hosts: cucurbiturils, pillar [n] arenes and deep-cavity cavitands. As we describe, these hosts …

How are water's material properties encoded within the structure of the water molecule? This
is pertinent to understanding Earth's living systems, its materials, its geochemistry and …

London dispersion, which constitutes the attractive part of the famous van der Waals
potential, has long been underappreciated in molecular chemistry as an important element …
