The self assembly of molecules into supramolecular structures responds to a variety of triggers, including light, temperature ...

Supramolecular chemistry investigates the association of discrete molecular entities through non‐covalent interactions, giving rise to architectures with remarkable specificity and responsiveness. A ...

Now, using the supramolecular caging approach we can reach almost quantitative trans -to- cis isomerization with any color of visible range," says Dr. Nikita Durandin, Academy of Finland Research ...

A team led by Associate Researcher Zhaoming Zhang and Researcher Xuzhou Yan from Shanghai Jiao Tong University introduced pseudorotaxane end groups of ...

Researchers were able to demonstrate for the first time that non-covalent bonds between spin centers are also capable of producing quartet states through spin mixing. Supramolecular chemistry is thus ...

Until now, research has assumed that the interaction between two spin centres can only be strong enough for successful quartet formation if the centres are covalently linked. Due to the high effort ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The conversion of sunlight into usable energy lies at the center of modern strategies for renewable energy development. Among natural processes, photosynthesis remains the most ...

In the field of drug delivery systems, there is a pressing need for innovative solutions that offer injectable delivery, controlled release profiles, and the ability to accommodate multiple drugs.

Chemists have unveiled new supramolecular snub cubes—2,712-atom polyhedral assemblies made up of 12 identical helical macrocycles that are held together by 144 weak hydrogen bonds. Snub cubes are ...

This course introduces first year graduate and undergraduates in materials science and chemistry to supramolecular design of materials and nanostructures. The course focuses on the synthetic methods ...

While this scanning electron microscope image may look like a harbinger of doom—perhaps a symptom of a haunted instrument or a cursed lab—Gustavo Porrata Caraballo says there’s a perfectly rational ...
