This tutorial review summarises different aspects of cooperativity in supramolecular
complexes. We propose a systematic categorisation of cooperativity into cooperative …

Conspectus The ring currents of aromatic and antiaromatic molecules are remarkable
emergent phenomena. A ring current is a quantum-mechanical feature of the whole system …

Although the principles of noncovalent bonding are well understood and form the basis for
the syntheses of many intricate supramolecular structures, supramolecular noncovalent …

Conspectus This Account is about templates as construction tools: molecules for making
molecules. A template organizes the reactants and provides information to promote …

Aromatic and antiaromatic molecules—which have delocalized circuits of [4 n+ 2] or [4 n]
electrons, respectively—exhibit ring currents around their perimeters,,,. The direction of the …

Owing to the reversible, directional and predictable nature of metal–ligand coordination,
coordination-driven self-assembly has emerged as a powerful bottom-up strategy for …

Nanoporous supramolecular networks physisorbed on solid surfaces have been extensively
used to immobilize a variety of guest molecules. Host–guest chemistry in such two …

Dynamic covalent synthesis aims to precisely control the assembly of simple building blocks
linked by reversible covalent bonds to generate a single, structurally complex product. In …

Cyclic polymers attract attention because of their endless structure and unique properties,
which differ from the linear analogs. However, the synthesis of cyclic polymers is difficult and …

A growing variety of covalent reactions have been employed to achieve the post-assembly
modification (PAM) of self-assembled metallosupramolecular complexes. Covalent PAM …
