In 1893, Alfred Werner described the structure of octahedral transition metal complexes and
provided the basis for assigning coordination number and oxidation state to what were then …

Controlling cooperativity, synchronization, amplification and translation of intermolecular
and intramolecular dynamics over different length scales for applications in stimuli …

Supramolecular chemistry uses non-covalent interactions to coax molecules into forming
ordered assemblies. The construction of ordered materials with these reversible bonds has …

The field of host–guest complexation is intensely attractive from diverse perspectives,
including materials science, chemistry and biology. The uptake and encapsulation of guest …

The inclusion compound [(CH3) 2NH2] 2 [KCo (CN) 6] exhibits a marked temperature-
dependent dielectric constant and can be considered as a model of tunable and switchable …

The design of molecular machines is stimulated by the possibility of developing new
materials with complex physicochemical and mechanical properties that are responsive to …

Molecules that exhibit emission in the solid state, especially those known as aggregation-
induced emission (AIE) chromophores, have found applications in areas as varied as light …

Porous materials find widespread application in storage, separation, and catalytic
technologies. We report a crystalline porous solid with adaptable porosity, in which a simple …

Molecular machines are essential dynamic components for fuel production, cargo delivery,
information storage and processing in living systems. Scientists have demonstrated that they …

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are extended structures composed of a network of organic
ligands and metal ions or clusters connected to each other via coordination bonds. The …
