Noncovalent interactions, which usually feature tunable strength, reversibility, and
environmental adaptability, have been recognized as driving forces in a variety of biological …

Molecular recognition, binding and catalysis are often mediated by non-covalent interactions
involving aromatic functional groups. Although the relative complexity of these so-called π …

Hydrogel adhesion inherently relies on engineering the contact surface at soft and hydrated
interfaces. Upon contact, adhesion normally occurs through the formation of chemical or …

The σ-hole and π-hole are the regions with positive surface electrostatic potential on the
molecule entity; the former specifically refers to the positive region of a molecular entity …

Cation and anion recognition have both played central roles in the development of
supramolecular chemistry. Much of the associated research has focused on the …

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 …

This Tutorial Review provides a short survey of anion sensing by small molecule anion
receptors, molecular ensembles and chemodosimeters. The review highlights the many …

Organic luminescent materials are one of the research hotspots worldwide. The luminescent
efficiency of these materials can be tuned by introducing noncovalent interactions. Ion− π …
