Lanthanide supramolecular chemistry is a fast growing and intriguing research field due to
the unique photophysical, magnetic, and coordination properties of lanthanide ions (LnIII) …

Herein some examples of the use of lanthanide ions (f-metal ions) to direct the synthesis of
luminescent self-assembly systems (architectures) will be discussed. This area of lanthanide …

Chiral luminescent lanthanide–organic cages have many potential applications in
enantioselective recognition, sensing, and asymmetric catalysis. However, due to the …

Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) is the emission featured spatial orientation
equivalent to circular dichroism. Owning to the unique magnetic dipole‐allowed but electric …

Lanthanide organic polyhedral cage complexes are a class of supramolecular compounds
that present exciting opportunities in applications ranging from sensing to catalysis and …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen, synthesizing two major
siderophores, pyoverdine (Pvd) and pyochelin (Pch), to cover its needs in iron (III). If the high …

Here we report the formation of an unexpected and unique family of chiral helicates. Crystal
structures show that these triple‐stranded ZnII2L3 complexes are held together by …

The theoretical and rational modelling of self-assembly processes is far less developed than
the flourishing structural characterization of the resulting sophisticated and aesthetically …
