The flexibility of biomolecules enables them to adapt and transform as a result of signals
received from the external environment, expressing different functions in different contexts …

The design principles of metallo-organic assembly reactions have facilitated access to
hundreds of coordination cages of varying size and shape. Many of these assemblies …

Diverse metal–organic complexes (MOCs), shaped as rectangles, triangles, hexagons,
prisms, and cages, can be formed by coordination between metal ions (Pt, Pd, Ru, Rh, Ir, Zn …

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