Because sunlight is the most abundant energy source on earth, it has huge potential for
practical applications ranging from sustainable energy supply to light driven chemistry. From …

The employment of weak intermolecular interactions in supramolecular chemistry offers an
alternative approach to project artificial chemical environments like the active sites of …

Compartmentalization of the aqueous space within a cell is necessary for life. In similar
fashion to the nanometer-scale compartments in living systems, synthetic water-soluble …

Confining molecules can fundamentally change their chemical and physical properties.
Confinement effects are considered instrumental at various stages of the origins of life, and …

Self-assembled discrete molecular architectures that show selective molecular recognition
within their internal cavities are highly desirable. Such hosts often show guest recognition …

The design principles of metallo-organic assembly reactions have facilitated access to
hundreds of coordination cages of varying size and shape. Many of these assemblies …

The binding of multiple guests by a single entity can lead to new modes of host–guest
interactions and thus new applications in, for example, catalysis and sensing. With the aim of …

In this review, we highlight how recent advances achieved in the fields of photochemistry
and photophysics of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) could be applied towards the …

The design of artificial catalysts able to compete with the catalytic proficiency of enzymes is
an intense subject of research. Non-covalent interactions are thought to be involved in …

Photochemistry, bearing significant applications in natural and man-made events such as
photosynthesis, vision, photolithography, photodynamic therapy, etc., is yet to become a …
