The continued development of molecular architectures of consequence to both longstanding
and newly recognized problems demands ever evolving synthetic routes, characterizations …

Conspectus As Pasteur noted more than 150 years ago, asymmetry exists in matter at all
organization levels. Biopolymers such as proteins or DNA adopt one-handed conformations …

The regioselective functionalization of C60 remains challenging, while the enantioselective
functionalization of C60 is difficult to explore due to the need for complex chiral tethers or …

Absolute chiral environments are rare in regular polyhedral and prismatic architectures, but
are achievable from self-assembly of metal–organic cages/containers (MOCs), which endow …

A variety of different three-dimensional metal–organic container molecules have recently
been prepared using subcomponent self-assembly, which relies upon metal template effects …

Coordination-directed self-assembly has become a well-established technique for the
construction of functional supramolecular structures. In contrast to the most often exploited …

Lanthanide-containing molecules have many potential applications in material science and
biology, that is, luminescent sensing/labling, MRI, magnetic refrigeration, and catalysis …

Predictable stereoselective formation of supramolecular assembly is generally believed to
be an important but complicated process. Here, we show that point chirality of a ligand …

Self-assembly of octahedral Fe (II) ions and linear perylene bisimide (PBI) dyes with 2, 2′-
bipyridine groups covalently attached at the imide positions quantitatively yields an Fe4 …

The current study describes the first in situ synthesis and characterization of a new family of
cationic coordination tetrahedra of both the V4F4 and V4E6 type, which are constructed by a …
