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 …

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

Chiral luminescent lanthanide–organic cages have many potential applications in
enantioselective recognition, sensing, and asymmetric catalysis. However, due to the …

Anthracene crude oil is a common source of phenanthrene for its industrial use. The
isolation of phenanthrene from this source is a challenging task due to very similar physical …

Cavities are a ubiquitous feature of chemical structures encountered in various fields
ranging from supramolecular chemistry to molecular biology. They are involved in the …

Constructing polycyclic aromatics-based, highly emissive fluorophores with good solubility
and tunable aggregated structures and properties is of great importance for film fabrication …

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

Biological receptors, such as enzymes, are highly flexible and alter their conformation to fit
target substrates. Synthetic supramolecular hosts, such as coordination cages, also exhibit …

The properties of supramolecular structures are highly dependent on their metal-centered
building blocks and organic linkers, thus the search for novel systems will lead to new …

Covalent organic cages are a prominent class of discrete porous architectures; however,
their structural isomerism remains relatively unexplored. Here, we demonstrate the structural …
