Anionic species are omnipresent and involved in many important biological processes. A
large number of artificial anion receptors has therefore been developed. Some of these are …

The membrane proteins found in nature control many important cellular functions, including
signal transduction and transmembrane ion transport, and these, in turn, are regulated by …

Owing to their significant physiological functions, especially as selective relays for
translocation of physiological relevant species through cellular membranes, natural ion …

This tutorial review surveys recent developments in the chemistry of naphthalene diimides
(NDIs) and explores their application in the fields of material and supramolecular science. It …

Nature embeds some of its molecular machinery, including ion pumps, within lipid bilayer
membranes. This has inspired chemists to attempt to develop synthetic analogues to exploit …

Synthetic supramolecular ion transporters find applications as potential therapeutics and as
tools for engineering functional membranes. Stimuli‐responsive systems enable external …

Ion transport across lipid membranes in biology is controlled by stimuli-responsive
membrane channels and molecular machine ion pumps such as ATPases. Here, we report a …

Rigid p-octiphenyl rods were used to create helical tetrameric π-stacks of blue, red-
fluorescent naphthalene diimides that can span lipid bilayer membranes. In lipid vesicles …

Intrigued by transannular interactions occurring in stacked aromatic molecules, chemists
have long endeavored to engineer discrete stacks of specific lengths and orientation. The …

The introduction of new noncovalent interactions to build functional systems is of
fundamental importance. We here report experimental and theoretical evidence that anion …
