Supramolecular chemistry originally defined by Lehn as “chemistry beyond molecules”
exploits noncovalent interactions between molecules to form 1D, 2D, and 3D …

Carbohydrate based low molecular weight gelators have been an intense subject of study
over the past decade. The self-assembling systems built from natural products have high …

Multiazobenzene compounds, hexakis-O-[4-(phenylazo) phenoxyalkylcarboxyl]-d-mannitols
and hexakis-O-[4-(4-hexylphenylazo) phenoxyalkylcarboxyl]-d-mannitols, exhibit …

A new water-soluble thermoresponsive pillar [6] arene with triethylene oxide groups was
synthesized. The pillar [6] arene showed lower critical solution temperature behavior in …

Molecular and macromolecular assemblies have good “chemistry” with light. In the research
of photochromic molecules and systems, the number of papers in the most recent 10 years …

Novel, stimulus-responsive supramolecular structures in the form of fibers, gels, and
spheres, derived from an azobenzene-containing benzenetricarboxamide derivative, are …

Carbohydrate based gelators are the emerging new materials having diversified
applications fields like drug delivery, environmental remediation, antibacterial agents, tissue …

We have shown solvent‐and substrate‐dependent chiral inversion of a few glycoconjugate
supramolecules.(Z)‐F‐Gluco, in which d‐glucosamine has been attached chemically to Cbz …

Smart light-responsive supramolecular materials have been extensively investigated in the
past decade, but so far the impact of metal coordination on hierarchical supramolecular …

Recently, there has been much interest in photorheological (PR) fluids, ie, fluids whose
rheological properties can be tuned by light. In particular, there is a need for simple, low-cost …
