Supramolecular polymers exhibit fascinating structures, and their properties, and thus
applications, depend both on the strength and dynamics of the non-covalent bonds and on …

In this review, we describe the recent advances in supramolecular helical assemblies
formed from chiral and achiral small molecules, oligomers (foldamers), and helical and …

Pathway complexity, hierarchical organization, out of equilibrium, and metastable or
kinetically trapped species are common terms widely used in recent, high‐quality …

The field of supramolecular chemistry focuses on the non-covalent interactions between
molecules that give rise to molecular recognition and self-assembly processes. Since most …

Supramolecular chemistry originally defined by Lehn as “chemistry beyond molecules”
exploits noncovalent interactions between molecules to form 1D, 2D, and 3D …

Cooperative phenomena are common processes involved in the hierarchical self-assembly
of multiple systems in nature, such as the tobacco mosaic virus and a cell's cytoskeleton …

1.1 Background In his historic review titled “Polymerization” in Chemical Reviews of 1931,
Wallace H. Carothers described his brilliant ideas about the rapidly developing field of …

Conspectus Recently, supramolecular polymers (SPs), which depend on the formation of
reversible bonds between monomers, have attracted attention as a class of materials that …

With the introduction of π-conjugated systems in electronic devices and the dream to arrive
at molecular electronics based on these systems, the detailed understanding of the …

Conspectus π-Conjugation between heterocyclic donor (D) and acceptor (A) groups via a
polymethine chain leads to dyes with dipole moments greater than 10 D. These dipole …
