Stemming from early seminal notions of molecular recognition and encapsulation, three-
dimensional, cavity-containing capsular compounds and assemblies have attracted intense …

This review discusses chiral self-sorting the process of choosing an interaction partner with
a given chirality from a complex mixture of many possible racemic partners. Chiral self …

Biological encapsulants such as ferritin,[1] lumazine synthase,[2] and viral capsids [3]
achieve their selective separation and sequestration of substrates by providing: 1) a guest …

Many molecular cages selectively bind guests in solution, but in the solid state close packing
often prevents guest entry, which renders the cages inactive. We envisioned that …

Dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) provides an intriguing and highly efficient approach for
building molecules that are usually thermodynamically favored. However, the DCC methods …

To design and exploit novel macrocyclic synthetic receptors is a permanent and challenging
topic in supramolecular chemistry. Here we describe the one-pot synthesis, unique …

Since fullerenes are available in macroscopic quantities from fullerene soot, large efforts
have been geared toward designing efficient strategies to obtain highly pure fullerenes …

New chemistry of the cyclic molecular host cyclotriveratrylene (CTV) includes applications
such as in sensors and separations; in self-organised materials such as gels, liquid crystals …

Along with the advent of supramolecular chemistry, research on fullerene receptors based
on noncovalent bonding interactions has attracted a lot of attention. Here, we present the …

Custom‐made macrocyclic receptors for fullerenes are proving a valuable alternative to
achieve the affinity and selectivity required to meet challenges such as the selective …
