Chiral self-sorting in cage-like compounds is drawing increasing attention in recent years. It
is of great importance in controlling the chirality of the formed cages and their chirality …

This perspective highlights three theoretical and computational methods to capture the
coordination self-assembly processes at the molecular level: quantum chemical modeling …

Cyclotriguaiacylene has been functionalised with 3-or 4-pyridyl-azo-phenyl groups to form a
series of molecular hosts with three azobenzene-type groups that exhibit reversible photo …

Kinetic control of molecular self-assembly remains difficult because of insufficient
understanding of molecular self-assembly mechanisms. Here we report the formation of a …

A family of Pd2 L 4 cages prepared from ligands based on an axially chiral diamino-[1, 1′-
biazulene] motif (serving as a unique azulene-based surrogate of the ubiquitous BINOL …

Chiral coordination cages have emerged as an efficient platform for enantioselective
processes via host–guest interactions. Here, we report an enantiomeric pair of tetrahedral …

We investigate the self-assembly dynamics of an imine-based pentafoil knot and related
pentameric circular helicates, each derived from a common bis (formylpyridine) bipyridyl …

Recent progress in the understanding of discrete coordination self‐assembly processes is
summarized. Aiming to make the problems in the investigation of molecular self‐assembly …

The problem of global environmental contamination is a result of rapid industrialisation.
Untreated industrial waste releases hazardous metal ions into the air and water, which when …

The search for fundamental determinants of bio-molecular chirality is a hot topic in biology,
clarifying the meaning of evolution and the enigma of life's origin. The question of origin may …
