Pillar [n] arenes are pillar-shaped macrocyclic compounds owing to the methylene bridges
linking the para-positions of the units. Owing to their unique pillar-shaped structures, these …

Pillar [n] arenes are a novel class of macrocyclic hosts reported by Ogoshi and co-workers in
2008. Because of their rigid pillar structures, interesting host–guest properties and ease of …

Helical nanographenes (NGs) have attracted increasing attention recently because of their
intrinsic chirality and exotic chiroptical properties. However, the efficient synthesis of …

Functionalisation of ruthenium complexes with rylene diimides, a class of organic molecules
based on a naphthalene scaffold connected through a peri-substitution pattern and capped …

Along with the adoption of three-dimensional electron diffraction (3D ED/MicroED) as a
mainstream tool for structure determination from sub-micron single crystals, questions about …

Rotaxanes with well‐defined ring sequences are attractive synthetic goals in the
construction of functional materials associated with molecular shuttles and switches …

A reversible change in a material's fluorescence spectrum on the application of force is
known as mechanofluorochromism (MFC) and is a well-established field of study. However …

This work sheds new light on the stereoselective synthesis of chiral macrocycles containing
twisted aromatic units, valuable π-conjugated materials for recognition, sensing, and …

Non‐fullerene acceptors have revolutionised organic photovoltaics. However, greater
fundamental understanding is needed of the crucial relationships between molecular …

Aesthetic designs from nature enable new knowledge to be gained and, at the same time,
inspire scientific models. In this context, multicomponent macrocycles embody the …
