Variation in the supramolecular assembly of the molecular containerp-sulfonatocalix[4]arene, a well-known supramolecular building block

Self-assembly of a supramolecular hexagram and a supramolecular pentagram

Five- and six-pointed star structures occur frequently in nature as flowers, snow-flakes, leaves and so on. These star-shaped patterns are also frequently used in both functional and artistic man-made architectures. Here following a stepwise synthesis and self-assembly approach, pentagonal and hexagonal metallosupramolecules possessing star-shaped motifs were prepared based on the careful desig...

Supramolecular Complexes and Supramolecular Catalysts Formed by Molecular Assembly of Multinuclear Metal Complexes in Aqueous Solutions

Symmetry induced supramolecular assembly of a resorcinarene trimeric molecular box.

A novel trimeric resorcinarene molecular box is induced during hydrothermal synthesis by use of the 3-fold symmetric tripyridyl triazine linker molecule.

Supramolecular Conjugated Block Copolymers

While the performance of polymer−polymer bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaics (OPVs) is poor compared with polymer−fullerene OPVs, reducing or eliminating micrometer-scale phase separation in all-polymer OPVs may dramatically improve performance. Herein, we demonstrate that 2-ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidinone (UPy) quadruple hydrogen bonding interactions can be used to prevent micrometer-scale pha...

Supramolecular assembly dynamics.

R progress in the synthetic chemistry of supramolecular assemblies has created many new structural types. With the proliferation of new structures has come increasing interest in the properties and behavior of these assemblies. Does the cooperativity of constituent components lend an assembly new properties distinct from the components themselves? Do the properties of an assembly make it suitab...
