Molecular recognition in water using macrocyclic synthetic receptors constitutes a vibrant
and timely research area of supramolecular chemistry. Pioneering examples on the topic …

Sensing of metal ions and anions is of great importance because of their widespread
distribution in environmental systems and biological processes. Colorimetric and fluorescent …

On the basis of many literature measurements, a critical overview is given on essential
noncovalent interactions in synthetic supramolecular complexes, accompanied by analyses …

Non‐covalent interactions play a crucial role in (supramolecular) chemistry and much of
biology. Supramolecular forces can indeed determine the structure and function of a host …

This review highlights the most significant examples of an emerging field in the design of
highly selective anion receptors. To date, there has been remarkable progress in the binding …

Noncovalent interactions involving aromatic rings, which include π-stacking interactions,
anion-π interactions, and XH− π interactions, among others, are ubiquitous in chemical and …

Well-orchestrated noncovalent interactions are fundamental in chemical processes. 1 For
example, the assembly of complementary subunits to form functional aggregates is a …

Anion–π interactions, intuitively repulsive forces, turned from controversial to a well-
established non-covalent interaction over the past quarter of a century. Within this time frame …

The anion-π interaction, a non-covalent attractive force between hosts (electron-deficient
arenes) and guests (anions) besides having many turns and surprises has recently turned …

Conspectus Proteins exhibit high-binding affinity and selectivity, as well as remarkable
catalytic performance. Their binding pockets are hydrophobic but also contain polar and …
