The widespread use of molecular machines in biology has long suggested that great
rewards could come from bridging the gap between synthetic molecular systems and the …

Synthetic supramolecular chemistry pursues not only the construction of new matter, but also
control over its inherently dynamic behaviour. In this context, classic host–guest chemistry …

The development of synthetic host–guest chemistry to investigate and quantify weak, non-
covalent interactions has been key to unraveling the complexity of molecular recognition in …

We present the synthesis and characterization of enantiomerically pure [6] helicene o-
quinones (P)-(+)-1 and (M)-(−)-1 and their application to chiroptical switching and chiral …

Conspectus Within the framework of miniaturization of electromechanical devices, the
development of a redox-switchable molecular gripper as a tool for nanorobotics is appealing …

The essential role of a well-defined hydrogen-bond network in achieving chemically
reversible multiproton translocations triggered by one-electron electrochemical …

In this study, we report the preparation, conformational dynamics, and recognition
characteristics of novel molecular capsule 1 comprising a bowl-shaped framework …

While host–guest binding is generally a very fast reaction, guest uptake/release sometimes
becomes slow particularly when the host cavity is separated from the outside by relatively …

Two novel triptycene quinoxaline cavitands (DiTriptyQxCav and MonoTriptyQxCav) have
been designed, synthesized, and applied in the supramolecular detection of benzene …

The first example of a bis‐hemithioindigo (bis‐HTI)‐based molecular receptor was realized.
Its folding and selective binding affinity for aromatic guest molecules can be precisely …
