Mechanochemistry describes diverse phenomena in which mechanical load affects
chemical reactivity. The fuzziness of this definition means that it includes processes as …

Kagome-lattice materials possess attractive properties for quantum computing applications,
but their synthesis remains challenging. Herein, based on the compelling identification of the …

Non-covalent interactions such as van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonds are
crucial for the chiral induction and control of molecules, but it remains difficult to study them …

Chemical reactions of organic molecules on metal surfaces have been intensively
investigated in the past decades, where metals play the role of catalysts in many cases. In …

Isomers of some chemical compounds may be dynamically interconvertible. Due to a lack of
sensing methods with a sufficient resolution, however, direct monitoring of such processes …

In the past decades, many supramolecular cages with different sizes and shapes have been
achieved through coordination-driven self-assembly. However, the strategy of topology …

Mechanochemistry refers to chemical reactions induced by mechanical forces. Due to
different reaction mechanisms, products obtained through mechanochemistry can be distinct …

Membrane separation technology has been widely applied in material separation fields.
However, it still has the disadvantage of poor selectivity at nanometer and sub-nanometer …

External electric fields (EEFs) have proven to be very efficient in catalysing chemical
reactions, even those inaccessible via wet-chemical synthesis. At the single-molecule level …

Nonplanar aromatic molecules are interesting systems for organic electronics and
optoelectronics applications due to their high stability and electronic properties. By using …
