After the historical development from the insoluble polyacetylene film to soluble and
processible aromatic polymers, donor–acceptor-type aromatic polymers have recently …

The need for precise and flexible synthetic methodology to underpin modern research in
chemical biology and materials science has fuelled a resurgence of interest in Huisgen 1, 3 …

The click concept, as originally discussed by Sharpless, Finn, and Kolb, is both powerful and
simple. Kolb et al. suggested that in the search for functional molecules, chemists should …

Crosslinking in polymer networks leads to intrinsic structural inhomogeneities that result in
brittle materials. Replacing fixed covalent crosslinks with mobile ones in mechanically …

Two novel bis (m-phenylene)-32-crown-10-based cryptands, one bearing covalent linkages
and the other metal-complex linkages, were designed and prepared. By self-assembly of …

Two series of oligorotaxanes R and R′ that contain− CH2NH2+ CH2–recognition sites in
their dumbbell components have been synthesized employing template-directed …

A tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)-containing crown ether macrocycle with Cs symmetry was
designed to implement planar chirality into a redox-active [2] rotaxane. The directionality of …

The involvement of 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition (1, 3-DP), double bond migration, metathesis,
and nitrile oxide (including in situ-generated nitrile oxide) as dipoles, together with the C= C …

Supramolecular chemistry and mechanostereochemistry have been major beneficiaries of
the concepts and reactions pioneered under the “click chemistry” philosophy. The success of …

Reversible oxidation reactions in electrochemically switchable oligorotaxanes with
tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) decorated 24‐crown‐8 ether wheels generate intramolecular mixed …
