Compartmentalization in the biological world brings excellent efficiency and specificity to the
formation of complex compounds, inspiring supramolecular chemists to continuously search …

Positive homotropic artificial allosteric systems are important for the regulation of
cooperativity, selectivity and nonlinear amplification. Stereodynamic homotropic allosteric …

Chiral supramolecular polymers were constructed through the host-guest complexation of
an octaphosphonate biscavitand and a chiral diammonium guest. Isothermal titration …

The past three decades have witnessed extraordinary advances in the preparation of
macrocycles from a resorcinarene platform. Bridging two or more resorcinarene units …

It is shown that the performance of allosteric systems regarding the efficiency and the speed
of response depends critically on the strain energy of the equilibrating conformers and of the …

Reported herein is the supramolecular polymerization of a mixture of a feet-to-feet
connected biscavitand and a homoditopic quinuclidinium guest that is regulated by …

Bisresorcinarenes 1a–d were obtained in excellent yields, and 1e was finally obtained in
50% yield. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that 1a and 1b adopted helical conformations …

A new rotamer-based strategy for negative allostery has been used to control host–host
interactions and product yield upon anion complexation. Coassembly of anion dimers as …

A brand-new self-folding biscavitand was synthesized from a feet-to-feet-connected
bisresorcinarene. The X-ray crystal structure of the biscaivtand showed that the two cavities …

X-ray crystallography of an acetoxy-protected bisresorcinarene and biscavitands possessing
phosphonate and dialkylsilyl bridges revealed that the bisresorcinarene and the …
