Metal–organic coordination structures are materials comprising reticular metal centers and
organic linkers in which the two constituents bind with each other via metal–ligand …

The fabrication methods of the microelectronics industry have been refined to produce ever
smaller devices, but will soon reach their fundamental limits. A promising alternative route to …

Recently, a new class of photoelectrochemical cells based on nanoscaled porous metal
oxide semiconductors (dye-sensitized solar cell) has promoted intense research due to the …

In the 25 years since its Nobel Prize in chemistry, supramolecular chemistry based on
molecular recognition has been paid much attention in scientific and technological fields …

Hydrogen bonds are like human beings in the sense that they exhibit typical grouplike
behavior. As an individual they are feeble, easy to break, and sometimes hard to detect …

The engineering of highly organized systems from instructed molecular building blocks
opens up new vistas for the control of matter and the exploration of nanodevice concepts …

During the last decade, interest on the growth and self-assembly of organic molecular
species on solid surfaces spread over the scientific community, largely motivated by the …

Supramolecular chemistry has a very large impact on chemistry of current interest and the
use of non-covalent but directional forces is appealing for the construction of …

Selective non-covalent interactions have been widely exploited in solution-based chemistry
to direct the assembly of molecules into nanometre-sized functional structures such as …

The controlled fabrication of nanometer-scale objects is without doubt one of the central
