Chirality, a fundamental principle in chemistry, biology, and medicine, is prevalent in nature
and in organisms. Chiral molecules, such as DNA, RNA, and proteins, are crucial in …

Metal–organic cages are macrocyclic structures that can possess an intrinsic void that can
hold molecules for encapsulation, adsorption, sensing, and catalysis applications. As metal …

Artificial systems for sequential chirality transmission/amplification and energy relay are
perpetual topics that entail learning from nature. However, engineering chiral light …

Charge plays a crucial role in the function of molecular and supramolecular systems, but
coordination hosts capable of orthogonal charge regulation remain elusive so far. In this …

A highly enantioselective aza-Darzens reaction (up to 99% ee) catalyzed by an enantiopure
supramolecular host has been discovered. To understand the role of host structure on …

It is considered a more formidable task to precisely control the self-assembled products
containing purely covalent components, due to a lack of intrinsic templates such as transition …

A series of isostructural supramolecular cages with a rhombic dodecahedron shape have
been assembled with distinct metal‐coordination lability (M8Pd6‐MOC‐16, M= Ru2+, Fe2+ …

An enantiopure ligand with four bidentate metal-binding sites and four (S)-carbon
stereocenters self-assembles with octahedral ZnII or CoII to produce O-symmetric M8L6 …

Molecular knots attract attention on account of their topological intricacies and potential
application. Tying molecular knots with different topologies, on larger length scales, remains …

A chiral cage is proposed as an effective chiroptical sensor for perrhenate (surrogate for
99TcO4−) in water, fruit juice and artificial urine media. The key mechanism for the …
