Fullerene chemistry has come a long way since 1990, when the first bulk production of C60
was reported. In the past decade, progress in supramolecular chemistry has opened some …

The adoption of a supramolecular approach in catalysis promises to address a number of
unmet challenges, ranging from activity (unlocking of novel reaction pathways) to selectivity …

The development of science and technology of advanced materials using nanoscale units
can be conducted by a novel concept involving combination of nanotechnology …

Here we report two highly emissive perylene diimide (PDI)-based metallacages and explore
their complexation with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, such as pyrene, triphenylene, and …

Noninvasive control over the reversible generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) has found the
practical significance in benefiting photodynamic therapy. In this study, we developed a new …

Chiral induction has been an important topic in chemistry, not only for its relevance in
understanding the mysterious phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking in nature …

Fullerenes and their derivatives are of tremendous technological relevance. Synthetic
access and application are still hampered by tedious purification protocols, peculiar …

Construction of metal–organic cages with unique architecture and guest binding abilities is
highly desirable. Herein, we report the synthesis of a distorted trigonal cage (1) from a …

Triplet–triplet annihilation-based molecular photon upconversion (TTA-UC) is a
photophysical phenomenon that can yield high-energy emitting photons from low-energy …

Due to the existing challenges in the synthesis of covalently linked large organic cages, the
potential benefits of such gigantic structures have been less explored, comparatively. Here …
