Single-molecule non-volatile memories can be designed as high-density memories and
memristors. The latter, enabling real-time data processing by performing computations …

We have successfully constructed a chiral linear [3] catenane stereoselectively by
coordination-driven self-assembly using a ditopic monodentate ligand containing l-valine …

Although the synthesis of mechanically interlocked molecules has been extensively
researched, selectively constructing homogeneous linear [4] catenanes remains a …

Precise design of photoactive molecules that switch reversibly upon visible-light irradiation
is beneficial to develop photosensitive intelligent luminescence materials applied in …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) find multiple applications ranging from fabric dyes
to optoelectronic materials. Hydrogenation of PAHs is often employed for their purification or …

The effect of host–guest interactions on the chemistry of encapsulated molecules is a
fascinating field of research that has gained momentum in recent years. Much of the work in …

Inspired by the drawstring structure in daily life, here we report the development of a
drawstring‐mimetic supramolecular complex at the molecular scale. This complex consists …

The beauty and utility of mechanically interlocked architectures have received considerable
notice from scientists in the past several decades. Plentiful scientific and technological …

Maintaining close spatial proximity of functional moieties within molecular systems can result
in fascinating emergent properties. Whilst much work has been done on covalent tethering …

A series of bistable photo-switchable [c2] daisy chain rotaxanes containing photochromic
spiropyran (SP) and triphenylamine-chalcone (TPA-C) chromophores were synthesized via …
