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 …

Clusters are ensembles of bound atoms intermediate in size between a molecule and a bulk
solid. Some of these clusters form stable units with atomically precise structures that give …

π–π Interactions are the dominating supramolecular forces in systems like carbon
nanostructures, which are inherently constituted by large conjugated π-systems. Their skilful …

Gel-nanocomposites are rapidly emerging functional advanced materials having
widespread applications in materials and biological sciences. Herein, we review syntheses …

Nature successfully manages under extremely adverse conditions to accomplish intricate
functions responsible for the regulation and control of the vast majority of biological …

1.1 Background Dendrimers and dendrons are architectural motifs synthesized by either
divergent or convergent iterative methods, and therefore, they provide monodisperse …

A cost-effective gram-scale synthesis of [8]-and [10] cycloparaphenylenes (CPPs) has been
developed for the first time. Both [8]-and [10] cycloparaphenylene organized into …

This article describes the most recent developments in the synthesis of three‐dimensional π‐
conjugated molecules and the elucidation of their properties made by our research group …

Intense current interest in supramolecular chemistry is devoted to the construction of
molecular assemblies displaying controlled molecular motion associated to recognition. On …

Besides a traditional use for the development of organic conducting materials, the
tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) unit and its derivatives have recently appeared as key constituents …
