We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all our friends who have supported us in achieving great results in 2023. We look forward to an even brighter and more successful 2024.
Our results indicate that the amount of acid in CDCl3 E without silver foil (right) is 129 times higher than that in CDCl3 C stabilized with silver foil (left)!!! D is prepared by diluting E 100 folds.
October 20, 2018 is a memorable day,the birthday of Westlake University. Thanks a lot for all of your support to the first private research university in China.

Building on reticular chemistry principles, we’ve expanded our covalent organic pillars into a larger iCOPs family. These discrete nanotubular structures act as deep cavitands, ideal for hosting long alkyl guests. Check out the extensive X-ray crystal structures at

Do reviewers feel that if the manuscript is reviewed within a week or even a day, the editor will feel that you have not reviewed it seriously? I don't know if the editor really thinks so!
