Heavy metal ions present in water bodies are of great concern for human health, aquatic life,
and environmental sustainability. The heteroatoms present in small organic molecule-based …

Fluorophores with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) are characterized by many
advantageous features for biomedical applications, including excellent photostability and …

Self-assembled hosts, inspired by biological receptors and catalysts, show application
potential in sustainable synthesis, energy conversion and medicine. Implementing multiple …

Multicomponent metallo‐supramolecular assembly allows the rational combination of
different building blocks. Discrete multifunctional hosts with an accessible cavity can be …

Stemming from early seminal notions of molecular recognition and encapsulation, three-
dimensional, cavity-containing capsular compounds and assemblies have attracted intense …

This work introduces the use of 8-aminoquinoline subcomponents to generate complex
three-dimensional structures. Together with a tris (formylpyridine), 8-aminoquinoline …

Biological receptors, such as enzymes, are highly flexible and alter their conformation to fit
target substrates. Synthetic supramolecular hosts, such as coordination cages, also exhibit …

Fluoride, as the smallest anion except hydride (H–), has garnered considerable attention
over the past decades due to its specific physiochemical properties and its crucial roles in …

Intensive development of optical (colorimetric/fluorescent) chemosensors is the landmark of
successful research efforts made after the advent of supramolecular chemistry. Amongst …

Metal‐organic cages (MOCs) are popular host architectures assembled from ligands and
metal ions/nodes. Assembling structurally complex, low‐symmetry MOCs with anisotropic …
