The helix is the central structural motif in biological macromolecules, such as DNA and
proteins, and is also the ubiquitous object in nature from microscopic to macroscopic points …

1.1 Background Dendrimers and dendrons are architectural motifs synthesized by either
divergent or convergent iterative methods, and therefore, they provide monodisperse …

Double helical conformation of polymer chains is widely observed in biomacromolecules
and plays an essential role in exerting their biological functions, such as molecular …

The evolution of chemistry in the last 60 years can be illustrated by the introduction of just a
few new concepts. One is macromolecules,(1, 2) whose importance was recognized in the …

Discotic liquid crystals are a promising class of materials for molecular electronics thanks to
their self-organization and charge transporting properties. The best discotics so far are built …

Helical architectures including artwork and monuments, such us the Trajan's column from
Rome, were constructed as early as in the year 113 while the assemblies and the self …

This review draws a rather comprehensive picture of how Suzuki polycondensation was
discovered in 1989 and how it was subsequently developed into the most powerful …

Control of function through the primary structure of a molecule presents a significant
challenge with valuable rewards for nanoscience. Dendritic building blocks encoded with …

Self-organizable dendronized helical polymers provide a suitable architecture for
constructing molecular nanomachines capable of expressing their motions at macroscopic …

The secondary structure of a dissymmetric and chiral poly (diphenylacetylene)(PDPA) is
elucidated by combining the data from NMR experiments (regioregular head to tail …
