The flexibility of biomolecules enables them to adapt and transform as a result of signals
received from the external environment, expressing different functions in different contexts …

Designing supramolecular architectures with uncommon geometries embedded with
functional building units is of immense importance in contemporary research. In this report …

Coordination driven self-assembly has witnessed a variety and large number of polygons as
well as polyhedra. However, the discrete larger nuclearity molecular polyhedra, which …

Fullerene extracts obtained from fullerene soot lack their real application due to their poor
solubility in common solvents and difficulty in purification. Encapsulation of these extracts in …

Self-assembly of a cis-blocked Pd (II) 90° ditopic acceptor [cis-(tmeda) Pd (NO3) 2](M) with a
tetradentate donor L 1 [benzene-1, 4-di (4-terpyridine)] in 2: 1 molar ratio yielded two …

A strategy is presented that enables the quantitative assembly of a heterobimetallic [PdPtL4]
4+ cage. The presence of two different metal ions (PdII and PtII) with differing labilities …

Donor–acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASA) are new-generation photochromic compounds
discovered recently. DASA exist normally in open form (blue/violet) and readily convert to …

A tetraphenylethylene (TPE)-based flexible imidazolium (L) salt was used to develop a di-
nuclear silver (I)–tetracarbene (1) complex. Coordination-induced rigidity upon formation of …

A new triphenylamine-based tetraimidazolium salt L was developed for silver (I)–carbene
bond-directed synthesis of tetranuclear silver (I) octacarbene ([Ag4 (L) 2](PF6) 4) …

Control over the stimuli-responsive behavior of smart molecular systems can influence their
capability to execute complex functionalities. Herein, we report the development of a suite of …
