Compartmentalization of the aqueous space within a cell is necessary for life. In similar
fashion to the nanometer-scale compartments in living systems, synthetic water-soluble …

Separation technology is central to industries as diverse as petroleum, pharmaceuticals,
mining and life sciences. Metal–organic cages, a class of molecular containers formed via …

Molecular recognition in water using macrocyclic synthetic receptors constitutes a vibrant
and timely research area of supramolecular chemistry. Pioneering examples on the topic …

Conspectus Coordination-driven self-assembly can produce large, symmetrical, hollow
cages that are synthetically easy to access. The functions provided by these aesthetically …

As compared to porous network solids, including metal–organic frameworks, covalent–
organic frameworks, porous aromatic frameworks, and zeolites, porous molecular materials …

The self‐assembly of highly stable zirconium (IV)‐based coordination cages with
aggregation induced emission (AIE) molecular rotors for in vitro bio‐imaging is reported. The …

Molecular recognition lies at the heart of biological functions, which inspires lasting research
in artificial host syntheses to mimic biomolecules that can recognize, process, and transport …

The field of metallosupramolecular chemistry has advanced rapidly in recent years. Much
work in this area has focused on the formation of hollow self-assembled metal-organic …

Confining molecules to volumes only slightly larger than the molecules themselves can
profoundly alter their properties. Molecular switches—entities that can be toggled between …

This work introduces the use of 8-aminoquinoline subcomponents to generate complex
three-dimensional structures. Together with a tris (formylpyridine), 8-aminoquinoline …
