The adoption of a supramolecular approach in catalysis promises to address a number of
unmet challenges, ranging from activity (unlocking of novel reaction pathways) to selectivity …

Light is a nearly ideal stimulus for molecular systems. It delivers information encoded in the
form of wavelengths and their intensities with high precision in space and time. Light is a …

The advances made in the field of stimuli‐responsive catalysis during the last five years with
a focus on the novel recently‐emerged directions and applications have been surveyed …

In this paper we elaborate on recently developed molecular switch architectures and how
these new systems can help with the realization of new functions and advancement of …

Photoswitchable catalysis is a young but rapidly evolving field that offers great potential for
non-invasive dynamic control of both activity and selectivity in catalysis. Within this context …

We report on catalysis by a fuel‐induced transient state of a synthetic molecular machine. A
[2] rotaxane molecular shuttle containing secondary ammonium/amine and thiourea stations …

Strategic global industries, such as pharmaceutics, cosmetics, or crop production, are
increasingly demanding high-value enantioenriched compounds. Thus, the design and …

We report on a switchable rotaxane molecular shuttle that features a pseudo‐meso 2, 5‐
disubstituted pyrrolidine catalytic unit on the axle whose local symmetry is broken according …

The past few decades have seen tremendous progress in the synthesis and operation of
molecular systems capable of controlled mechanical movement. Here, we review the use of …

The transesterification rate of boronate esters with diols is tunable over 14 orders of
magnitude. Rate acceleration is achieved by internal base catalysis, which lowers the …
