Noncovalent interactions play a dominant role in many forefront areas of modern chemistry,
from materials design to molecular biology. A detailed understanding of the physical origin …

Real-time and real-space analysis of heavy and transition metal ions employing fluorescent
sensor molecules has received much attention over the past few years. Since many of these …

We have been investigating the synthesis of endohedral metallofullerenes since we
successfully opened an orifice on the framework of C60 in the form of a cobalt complex …

Research into the synthesis, analysis, and understanding of unusual molecular structures is
as old as Organic Chemistry itself. Although, or rather because, the principles of bonding …

The first synthesis of an all-benzene carbon nanocage 1, which represents a junction unit of
branched carbon nanotubes, has been achieved. A stepwise assembly of six L-shaped units …

In contrast to organic cages which are formed by exploiting dynamic covalent chemistry,
such as boronic ester cages, imine cages, or disulfide cages, those with a fully …

Cyclophanes are a venerable class of macrocyclic and/or cage compounds that often
feature high strain, unusual conformations and quite surprising properties, many of which …

Ten Ag+-selective ionophores have been characterized in terms of their potentiometric
selectivities and complex formation constants in solvent polymeric membranes. The …

This article surveys the toxicities of mercury, cadmium, lead, copper, cadmium, and the
actinides. Strategies for the removal of these metals include surfactants, aqueous biphasic …

In spite of the general toxicity, ecotoxicity and sparsely known metabolism of silver, WHO
allows silver ions (Ag) up to 0.1 mg/l in drinking water disinfection. In order to determine the …
