This account describes our recent progress on the strategic incorporation of fluorine and
organofluorine moieties into new-generation taxoid anticancer agents for medicinal …

A series of N‐arylimide molecular balances were designed to study and measure fluorine–
aromatic (F–π) interactions. Fluorine substituents gave rise to increasingly more stabilizing …

Cage molecules have long been employed to trap reactive or transient species, as their rigid
nature allows them to enforce situations that otherwise would not persist. In this Minireview …

Allosteric regulation is an essential biological process that allows enzymes to modulate their
active site properties by binding a control molecule at the protein exterior. Here we show the …

We report a class of quaternary ammonium Cinchona-functionalized crown ether-strapped
calix [4] arene phase-transfer catalysts for the efficient enantioselective α-alkylation of …

Fluorination of compounds causes an increase in the proton-donating ability and a decrease
in the proton-accepting capacity of groups in their vicinity. The formation of F··· F interactions …

Geometric isomerism in mechanically interlocked systems—which arises when the axle of a
mechanically interlocked molecule is oriented, and the macrocyclic component is facially …

Monodisperse nickel/copper nanohybrids (NiCu@ MWCNT) based on multi-walled carbon
nanotubes (MWCNT) were prepared for the Knoevenagel condensation of aryl and aliphatic …

We report the discovery of a facile peptide macrocyclization and stapling strategy based on
a fluorine thiol displacement reaction (FTDR), which renders a class of peptide analogues …

We report a detailed experimental and theoretical analysis of through‐space arene
activation with halogens, tetrazoles and achiral esters and amides. Contrary to previously …
