Ionic liquids are remarkable chemical compounds, which find applications in many areas of
modern science. Because of their highly tunable nature and exceptional properties, ionic …

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

Spontaneous deracemizations is a challenging, multidisciplinary subject in current chirality
research. In the absence of any chiral inductors, an achiral substance or a racemic …

Self-assembled organic nanotubes made of single or multiple molecular components can be
classified into soft-matter nanotubes (SMNTs) by contrast with hard-matter nanotubes, such …

Amphiphilic molecules, comprising hydrophobic and hydrophilic moieties and the intrinsic
propensity to self‐assemble in aqueous environment, sustain a fascinating spectrum of …

Fabricating chiral inorganic materials and revealing their unique quantum confinement‐
determined optical chiral responses are crucial tasks in the multidisciplinary fields of …

Carbohydrates are involved in a variety of biological processes. The ability of sugars to form
a large number of hydrogen bonds has made them important components for …

Inorganic and organic “solvent-in-salt”(SIS) systems have been known for decades but have
attracted significant attention only recently. Molten salt hydrates/solvates have been …

Chemical surfactants are omnipresent in consumer products, but they are the subject of
environmental concerns. For this reason, the complete replacement of petrochemical …

Owing to the natural abundance, variety of structural features, and highly specific functions,
natural monomers render themselves as potential candidates for production of high …
