Vesicles are microscopic sacs that enclose a volume with a molecularly thin membrane. The
membranes are generally self-directed assemblies of amphiphilic molecules with a dual …

Fullerenes are entirely insoluble in water, but suitable functionalization makes the molecules
soluble. Studies on water-soluble fullerene derivatives led to the discovery of the interaction …

Abstract This Progress Report describes the latest advances in vesicles and liposomes.
Recent work on the self‐assembly of complex polymer systems shows that the formation of …

To characterize fullerenes (C60 and C70) as photosensitizers in biological systems, the
generation of active oxygen species, through energy transfer (singlet oxygen 1O2) and …

The controlled fabrication of nanometer-scale objects is without doubt one of the central
issues in current science and technology. However, existing fabrication techniques suffer …

Molecular self-assembly has enabled the fabrication of biologically inspired, advanced
nanostructures as lipid-based nanovesicles (L-NVs). The oldest L-NVs, liposomes, have …

As carbons are widely used in energy storage and conversion systems, there is a rapidly
growing need for an updated book that describes their physical, chemical, and …

Since their discovery in 1985 1 and their production on a preparative scale 5 years later, 2
fullerenes have attracted a great deal of attention. Their chemical modification has emerged …

In this Perspective, we present a unique approach to the design and synthesis of giant
molecules based on “nanoatoms” for engineering structures across multiple length scales …

The two-volume Encyclopedia of Supramolecular Chemistry offers authoritative, centralized
information on a rapidly expanding interdisciplinary field. User-friendly and high-quality …
