Nature Synthesis - Torus knots are assembled in a contra-helical tubular manner by coaxially nesting a small multistranded helix within a larger reverse helix. This approach enables the...

Nature Chemistry - Double-walled design for tetrahedral cages

The efficient preparation of single-crystalline ionic polymers and fundamental understanding of their structure–property relationships at the molecular level remains a challenge in chemistry and...

Two new highly charged [2]catenanes—namely, mHe[2]C·6PF6 and mHo[2]C·6PF6—were synthesized by exploiting radical host–guest templation between derivatives containing BIPY•+ radical cations and the...

Precise control of molecular assembly is a challenging goal facing supramolecular chemists. Herein, we report the highly specific assembly of a range of supramolecular nanotubes from the enantiomeric...

Radical templation centered around a heterotrisradical tricationic inclusion complex DB•+⊂DAPQT2(•+), assembled from an equimolar mixture of a disubstituted 4,4′-bipyridinium radical cation (DB•+)...

Inspired by the tension-rigidified architecture of a bow, we present a molecular-strain engineering strategy for constructing double-walled polyhedra from strained bow-like macrocycles called...

Organic radicals are of importance in developing smart materials that have paramagnetic and/or near-infrared optical properties. Their practical applications, however, are limited by the labile...

Catenane radicals with up to seven oxidation states might one day be used in memory devices

Redox manipulations assemble rotaxanes by pumping macrocycles from bulk solution to surface-bound axles.

A class of γ-cyclodextrin-containing hybrid frameworks (CD-HFs) has been synthesized, employing γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) as the primary building blocks, along with 4-methoxysalicylate (4-MS–) anions as...
