Two-dimensionally extended, polycyclic heteroaromatic molecules (heterocyclic
nanographenes) are a highly versatile class of organic materials, applicable as functional …

In recent times, researchers have emphasized practical approaches for capturing
coordinated and selective guest entrap. The physisorbed nanoporous supramolecular …

Hydrogen bonding is one of the most important non-covalent interactions in both biological
(DNA, peptides, saccharides etc.) and artificial systems (various soft materials, host–guest …

Self-assembly of planar molecules on a surface can result in the formation of a wide variety
of close-packed or porous structures. Two-dimensional porous arrays provide host sites for …

Macrocycles have attracted much attention due to their specific “endless” topology, which
