Sigma–hole interactions, in particular halogen bonding (XB) and chalcogen bonding (ChB),
have become indispensable tools in supramolecular chemistry, with wide-ranging …

The active template synthesis of mechanically interlocked molecular architectures exploits
the dual ability of various structural elements (metals or, in the case of metal-free active …

Inspired by the success of its related sigma-hole congener halogen bonding (XB),
chalcogen bonding (ChB) is emerging as a powerful noncovalent interaction with a plethora …

The first examples of [2] catenanes capable of selective anion transport across a lipid bilayer
are reported. The neutral halogen bonding (XB)[2] catenanes were prepared via a chloride …

In the past several decades, the field of cocrystal engineering has developed into a vital
research topic in supramolecular chemistry, holding the foremost scope in crystal …

The ubiquity of charged species in biological and industrial processes has resulted in ever‐
increasing interest in their selective recognition, detection, and environmental remediation …

A new approach towards highly enantioselective halogen‐bonding catalysis has been
developed. To circumvent the intrinsic issues of the nature of the halogen‐bond (XB) and the …

The first examples of halogen bonding (XB) heteroditopic homo [2] catenanes were
prepared by discrete Na+ template‐directed assembly of oligo (ethylene glycol) units …

The ever-increasing interest directed towards the construction of host architectures capable
of the strong and selective recognition of various ionic species of biological, medical and …

A pillar [5] arene host, functionalised with halogen bonding (XB) recognition sites and
BODIPY fluorophores, demonstrates strong binding and optical sensing of environmentally …
