Fullerene chemistry has come a long way since 1990, when the first bulk production of C60
was reported. In the past decade, progress in supramolecular chemistry has opened some …

In this review, we describe the developments in the field of naphthalene diimides (NDIs)
from 2016 to the presentday. NDIs are shown to be an increasingly interesting class of …

In this review we cover recent developments in fluorescent and colorimetric anion sensors.
These systems employ a range of different non-covalent interactions including hydrogen …

The construction of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) switches with multiple
switchable emission states and high dissymmetry factors (glum) has attracted increasing …

The cycloparaphenylenes (CPPs) are a class of strained macrocycles that until 2008 were
considered beyond the reach of organic synthesis. With its cyclic array of ten para …

The novel selenoviologen-based tetracationic cyclophanes (green boxes 3 and 5) with rigid
electron-deficient cavities are synthesized via SN2 reactions in two steps. The green boxes …

From being an aesthetic molecular object to a building block for the construction of
molecular machines, catenanes and related mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) …

The ubiquity of charged species in biological and industrial processes has resulted in ever‐
increasing interest in their selective recognition, detection, and environmental remediation …

The ubiquity of anions in biological and environmental systems has motivated the
development of many novel anion receptors and sensors over the past two decades. Optical …

Despite dramatic advances in the template-directed synthesis of archetypal [2] rotaxanes,
higher order rotaxanes with multiple molecular components (rings or dumbbells) are …
