Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) represent an exciting new type of porous organic
materials, which are ingeniously constructed with organic building units via strong covalent …

The long-standing challenge of designing and constructing new crystalline solid-state
materials from molecular building blocks is just beginning to be addressed with success. A …

High-efficiency blue phosphorescence emission is essential for organic optoelectronic
applications. However, synthesizing heavy-atom-free organic systems having high triplet …

The hydrogen bond is the most important of all directional intermolecular interactions. It is
operative in determining molecular conformation, molecular aggregation, and the function of …

A hydrogen bond, X− H⊙⊙⊙ A, is an interaction wherein a hydrogen atom is attracted to
two atoms, X and A, rather than just one and so acts like a bridge between them. This …

Crystal engineering, the design of molecular solids, is the synthesis of functional solid‐state
structures from neutral or ionic building blocks, using intermolecular interactions in the …

Solvent effect is a vital subject in the domain of coordination chemistry. In this connection,
previous researches mainly focus on the role of solvents in reaction kinetics and …

A hydrogen bond is an interaction wherein a hydrogen atom is attracted to two atoms, rather
than just one, and acts like a bridge between them. The strength of this attraction increases …

Crystal engineering has evolved in such a manner that it is now synonymous with the
paradigm of supramolecular synthesis, that is, it invokes self-assembly of existing molecules …

Formation of stable iron hydrides on more nucleophilic (electron-rich) metal centers than
those found in hydrogenases with CO ligands would inhibit or at least slow down function …
