Compartmentalization of the aqueous space within a cell is necessary for life. In similar
fashion to the nanometer-scale compartments in living systems, synthetic water-soluble …

Separation technology is central to industries as diverse as petroleum, pharmaceuticals,
mining and life sciences. Metal–organic cages, a class of molecular containers formed via …

Confining molecules can fundamentally change their chemical and physical properties.
Confinement effects are considered instrumental at various stages of the origins of life, and …

Although metallosupramolecular cages are self-assembled from seemingly simple building
blocks, metal ions and organic ligands, architectures of increasingly large size and …

High symmetry metallosupramolecular architectures (MSAs) have been exploited for a
range of applications including molecular recognition, catalysis and drug delivery. Recently …

The selective separation of structurally similar aliphatic/aromatic hydrocarbons is an
essential goal in industrial processes. In this study, we report the synthesis of a water …

Conspectus This Account provides a comprehensive summary of our 1-decade-long
investigations into bent anthracene dimers as versatile building blocks for supramolecular …

Molecular containers have attracted the interest of supramolecular chemists since the early
beginnings of the field. Cavitands' inner cavities were quickly exploited by Cram and …

The control of a molecule's geometry, chirality, and physical properties has long been a
challenging pursuit. Our study introduces a dependable method for assembling D 3 …

Confining molecules to volumes only slightly larger than the molecules themselves can
profoundly alter their properties. Molecular switches—entities that can be toggled between …
