Synthetic dynamic helical polymers (supramolecular and covalent) and foldamers share the
helix as a structural motif. Although the materials are different, these systems also share …

Azobenzene undergoes trans→ cisisomerization when irradiated with light tuned to an
appropriate wavelength. The reverse cis→ transisomerization can be driven by light or …

Azobenzenes are ubiquitous motifs very important in many areas of science. Azo
compounds display crucial properties for important applications, mainly for the chemical …

Having control over an entity or even an entire process is arguably the ultimate
demonstration of its understanding and it will enable its potential to be fully exploited. With …

Advances in molecular and supramolecular organization are a major challenge in organic
chemistry. The control of molecular and supramolecular assembly may be obtained under …

Here we demonstrate a bioinspired system where light stimulus is used to trigger the
wavelength-dependent release and then reuptake of chloride ions in nonaqueous solutions …

Interest in foldamers [1] and helically folding polymers [2] has increased considerably over
the past decade, reflecting the vast potential of this emerging field.[3] One particularly …

Allosteric regulation of protein structure and function is a hallmark of biology. The structures
of protein-like abiological foldamers have been subject to allosteric control, however …

In this review, various systems developed in recent years which aim to control dynamic
helicity at the macro-and supramolecular level are discussed. The strong interactions …

The azo linkage is a prominent chemical motif which has found numerous applications in
materials science, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Described herein is a sustainable …
