After conquering the atomic structure about a century ago, chemists have been largely
interested in understanding the concept of chemical bond and the formation of a molecule …

Conspectus We describe here a family of coordination cages with interesting structural,
guest-binding, and catalytic properties. Flexible bridging ligands containing two bidentate …

The field of metallosupramolecular chemistry has advanced rapidly in recent years. Much
work in this area has focused on the formation of hollow self-assembled metal-organic …

The ability of cationic coordination cages to act as anion receptors is reviewed, with an
emphasis on the anion encapsulation chemistry and the dynamics of cage assembly, anion …

Biochemical systems are adaptable, capable of reconstitution at all levels to achieve the
functions associated with life. Synthetic chemical systems are more limited in their ability to …

We present an extensive study of a novel class of de novo designed tetrahedral M4L6 (M=
Ni, Zn) cage receptors, wherein internal decoration of the cage cavities with urea anion …

The reaction of sym-pentakis (4-aminothiophenyl) corannulene with 2-formyl-6-
methylpyridine and CuI or 2-formyl-1, 10-phenanthroline and MII (M= Co, Zn) yields an S 10 …

Many useful principles of self-assembly have been elucidated through studies of systems
where multiple components combine to create a single structure. More complex systems …

We report on the synthesis and self-assembly study of novel supramolecular monomers
encompassing quadruple hydrogen-bonding motifs and metal-coordinating 2, 2′-bipyridine …

The host–guest chemistry of the octanuclear cubic coordination cage [Co8L12] 16+(where L
is a bridging ligand containing two chelating pyrazolyl-pyridine units connected to a central …
