The pores in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) can be functionalized by placing chemical
entities along the backbone and within the backbone. This chemistry is enabled by the …

Since the late 1990s, much progress has been made in the field of the chemistry of flexible
porous coordination polymers (PCPs). Various PCP architectures have been recognized …

What particular mechanical properties can be expected for materials composed of
interlocked backbones has been a long-standing issue in materials science since the first …

A mechanical bond presents a combination of the best features of covalent and
supramolecular chemistries (stability and structural integrity), plus a unique dynamic nature …

Controlling cooperativity, synchronization, amplification and translation of intermolecular
and intramolecular dynamics over different length scales for applications in stimuli …

Half a century after Schill and Lüttringhaus carried out the first directed synthesis of a [2]
catenane, a plethora of strategies now exist for the construction of molecular Hopf links …

Better understanding the crystal-facet engineering of a crystal with tailored architecture has
demonstrated a significant implication for rational design and synthesis of promising micro …

Expansion and contraction of structurally flexible Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) or
Porous Coordination Polymers (PCPs) have been extensively studied from different …

Until recently, porous molecular solids were isolated curiosities with properties that were
eclipsed by porous frameworks, such as metal–organic frameworks. Now molecules have …

The tetracationic cyclophane, cyclobis (paraquat‐p‐phenylene), also known as the little blue
