Supramolecular chemistry specializes in non-covalent interactions. These weak and reversible forces are key to understanding biological processes and self-assembling systems, and to constructing ...

Researchers have created 'smart' microparticles that self-assemble in response to the addition of a specific molecule. This work can help explain the behavior of biomolecular complexes, as well as ...

A team led by Cleveland Clinic's Kenneth Merz, Ph.D., and IBM's Antonio Mezzacapo, Ph.D., is developing quantum computing ...

The synthesis and self-organization of biological macromolecules is essential for life on earth. Chemists now report the spontaneous emergence of complex ring-shaped macromolecules with low degrees of ...

Control over the fluorescence of supramolecular assemblies is crucial for the development of chemosensors and light-emitting materials. Consequently, the postsynthetic modification of supramolecular ...

A powerful strategy to obtain complex supramolecular materials is the bottom-up construction of noncovalently bound materials by hierarchical self-assembly. This assembly process involves stepwise, ...

Reviewed by Dr. Surat P, Ph.D. Supermolecules are formed from spontaneous assembly of linked molecular clusters of a unique composition, in a noncovalent manner, to form a larger final biological or ...

Researchers at Osaka University synthesized biomimetic supramolecular polymers with the ability to form larger complexes in response to external stimuli, which may shed light on biomolecular ...

Assessing hyperfine shifts in paramagnetic NMR spectra provides new details on the covalent character of halogen bonded ...

Challenges in Organic Materials and Supramolecular Chemistry will be the culmination of the International Symposia on Advancing the Chemical Sciences (ISACS) series in 2015. The conference will bring ...
