Half a century after Schill and Lüttringhaus carried out the first directed synthesis of a [2]
catenane, a plethora of strategies now exist for the construction of molecular Hopf links …

The tetracationic cyclophane, cyclobis (paraquat‐p‐phenylene), also known as the little blue
box, constitutes a modular receptor that has facilitated the discovery of many host–guest …

Engineering the electronic excited state manifolds of organic molecules can give rise to
various functional outcomes, including ambient triplet harvesting, that has received …

Development of organic molecules that can harvest triplet excitons under ambient conditions
by a relatively simple strategy holds great promise in the paradigm of photophysics …

Herein we present a new viologen‐based radical‐containing metal–organic framework
(RMOF) Gd‐IHEP‐7, which upon heating in air undergoes a single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal …

Catenanes–molecules consisting of interlocked macrocyclic rings–have been prepared by
templation strategies for some thirty years. The utilization of CuI cation, aromatic donor …

Artificial molecular machines (AMMs) have profoundly enhanced scientists' capability to
manipulate the relative movements of components within molecules. Mechanically …

Ever since their discovery, stable organic radicals have received considerable attention from
chemists because of their unique optical, electronic, and magnetic properties. Currently, one …

We describe the formation of a suite of [3] catenanes via multicomponent coordination-
driven self-assembly and host–guest complexation of a rectangular scaffold comprising a …

Mechanically interlocked structures are fascinating synthetic targets and the topological
complexity achieved through catenation offers numerous possibilities for the construction of …
