[reaction: see text] We have investigated supramolecular reactors for the Suzuki coupling reactions of aryl halides with phenyl boronic acids by using self-assembly of amphiphilic rod-coil molecules in aqueous solution at room temperature. All the rod-coil molecules synthesized in this work showed to self-assemble into discrete micelles consisting of aromatic rod bundles encapsulated by hydroph...

The emerging role of supramolecular chemistry and crystal engineering in pharmaceutical science has been influenced significantly by the interest in pharmaceutical cocrystals. Pharmaceutical co-crystals are co-crystals that are formed between an API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) and a co-crystal former that is a solid under ambient conditions. APIs contain functional groups that engage in ...

Supramolecular analytical chemistry has emerged as a new discipline at the interface of supramolecular and analytical chemistry. It focuses on analytical applications of molecular recognition and self-assembly. One of the important outcomes of the supramolecular analytical chemistry is the understanding of molecular aspects of sensor design, synthesis and binding studies of sensors while using ...

Optical activity of hierarchical supramolecular assemblies based on organic dyes would create multiple functional architectures. In this work, three kinds of silica nanoparticles with or without functional groups were synthesized. For the first time, silica nanoparticles can induce positively charged squaraine (SQ) to aggregate to form supramolecular assemblies. Adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) ...

Supramolecular chemistry has evolved from molecular chemistry over the last half century as the science of “chemistry beyond the molecule.” Supramolecular organic chemistry can be described in a number of ways, such as: (1) chemistry of molecular complexes; (2) chemistry of noncovalent bonds; (3) chemistry of the intermolecular bond; and (4) chemistry of molecular recognition. These are appeali...

Media spaces were designed to support informal as well as formal communication among remote users. We believe that these systems must be integrated into existing environments in a lightweight way, blending support for collaboration with the user's existing computer environment. This demonstration presents videoSpace, a software toolkit that facilitates the integration of live video into documen...

A new branching blend between two natural quadrics (circular cylinders/cones or spheres) in many positions is proposed. The blend is a ring shaped patch of a PN surface (surface with rational offset) parametrized by rational bivariant functions of degree (6, 3). General theory of PN surfaces is developed using Laguerre geometry and a universal rational parametrization of the Blaschke cylinder. ...

The automatic generation of volumes bounding the intersection of two implicit surfaces (isosurfaces of real functions of 3D point coordinates) or feature based volumes (FBV) is presented. Such FBVs are defined by constructive operations, function normalization and offsetting. By applying various offset operations to the intersection of two surfaces, we can obtain variations in the shape of an F...

Multivalency has an important but poorly understood role in molecular self-organization. We present the noncovalent synthesis of a multicomponent supramolecular polymer in which chemically distinct monomers spontaneously coassemble into a dynamic, functional structure. We show that a multivalent recruiter is able to bind selectively to one subset of monomers (receptors) and trigger their cluste...
