In this review, we describe the recent advances in supramolecular helical assemblies
formed from chiral and achiral small molecules, oligomers (foldamers), and helical and …

Chirality is a basic characteristic of living matter and nature. During the evolution of life on
our planet, nature has favored one kind of chirality, thereby selecting the l-amino acids (with …

Interactions between solvents and solutes are a cornerstone of physical organic chemistry
and have been the subject of investigations over the last century. In recent years, a renewed …

Porphyrin derivatives are ubiquitous in bio-organisms and are associated with proteins that
play important biological roles, such as oxygen transport, photosynthesis, and catalysis …

Supramolecular chemistry originally defined by Lehn as “chemistry beyond molecules”
exploits noncovalent interactions between molecules to form 1D, 2D, and 3D …

As deaths from preventable diseases abate, cancer is becoming one of the leading causes
of death in the world. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a noninvasive treatment for cancer …

1.1 Background In his historic review titled “Polymerization” in Chemical Reviews of 1931,
Wallace H. Carothers described his brilliant ideas about the rapidly developing field of …

After their first synthesis in 1915 by Curtius, benzene-1, 3, 5-tricarboxamides (BTAs) have
become increasingly important in a wide range of scientific disciplines. Their simple …

“Anything that exists must be possible.” is often referred to as KE Boulding's First Law. 1 For
example, nanoscale photonic devices exist that harvest light and convert it to …

Large aggregates, constructed by linking together monomer building blocks via non-
covalent interactions with polymer properties, are regarded as supramolecular polymers …
