This comprehensive review surveys developments over the past decade in the field of
naphthalene diimides (NDIs). It explores their application toward: supramolecular chemistry; …

Mechanochromic fluorescence (MCF) materials are a sort of smart material whose
photophysical properties are sensitive to mechanical stimulation, such as …

The possibility to change the molecular assembled structures of organic and organometallic
materials through mechanical stimulation is emerging as a general and powerful concept for …

Advances in the field of supramolecular chemistry have made it possible, in many situations,
to reliably engineer soft materials to address a specific technological problem. Particularly …

Supramolecular chemistry originally defined by Lehn as “chemistry beyond molecules”
exploits noncovalent interactions between molecules to form 1D, 2D, and 3D …

Absorption of light by a molecule (donor, D) generates an excited state, which may
subsequently transfer the excitation to another chromophore (acceptor, A) in the vicinity …

Cooperative phenomena are common processes involved in the hierarchical self-assembly
of multiple systems in nature, such as the tobacco mosaic virus and a cell's cytoskeleton …

1.1 Background In his historic review titled “Polymerization” in Chemical Reviews of 1931,
Wallace H. Carothers described his brilliant ideas about the rapidly develo** field of …

This review highlights the recent progress of bulk and nanoscale coordination polymer (CP)
materials for energy transfer. Artificial light-harvesting materials with efficient energy transfer …

We have collated various supramolecular designs that utilize organic donor–acceptor CT
complexation to generate noncovalently co‐assembled structures including fibrillar gels …
