When two guest molecules co-occupy a binding pocket of a water-soluble host, the first guest could be used as a signal molecule to turn on the binding of the second. This type of molecularly responsive binding strongly depends on the size of the two guests and the location of the signal molecule.

Honorable chief guest, guests of honor, distinguished dignitaries on the dias, guest speakers, delegates from India and abroad, respected teachers, past presidents of IAP, members of APSSEAR, MCI, WHO, UNICEF, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, organizers of the 8th Asian Congress of Pediatrics and XXXI National Conference of IAP, fellow delegates, media persons, friends, ladies and gentlemen.

Orthogonal self-assembly of an open organic framework showing 2D channels has been obtained by combining hydrogen and halogen bonding. The framework is able to host various guest molecules with a diverse set of steric demands and substitution patterns, and survives single-crystal-to-single-crystal guest exchanges from liquid and gas phases.

15-Crown-5-appended metalloporphyrin causes a K(+)-driven self-organization to bind a bifunctional guest ditopically, thereby allowing the circular dichroism (CD) detection of chirality induced in the ensemble when chiral amines are employed as the guest; the chiroptical properties are discussed.

A pillar[5]arene-based bioactive guest loading system has been developed, which can increase the solubility of the drug norharmane in aqueous medium, and also enable its pH-stimulated release. Furthermore, this supramolecular transport system reduces the toxicity of loaded guest.

Host-guest complexes of tris(NN-CH2)-substituted 1,4,7-triazacyclononane and tetrakis(NN-CH2)-substituted 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane afforded the folded structures of the hosts where the NN radical oxygen atoms were coordinated to the guest metal ion, leading to enhanced antiferromagnetic couplings in the solid state and an ESR line broadening in the solution phase (NN = 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl...

This report presents a novel strategy that facilitates delivery of multiple, specific payloads of Pt(IV) prodrugs using a well-defined supramolecular system. This delivery system comprises a hexanuclear Pt(II) cage that can host four Pt(IV) prodrug guest molecules. Relying on host-guest interactions between adamantyl units tethered to the Pt(IV) molecules and the cage, four prodrugs could be en...

The importance of heterogeneous multicore programming is increasing, and Open Computing Language (OpenCL) is an open industrial standard for parallel programming that provides a uniform programming model for programmers to write efficient, portable code for heterogeneous computing devices. However, OpenCL is not supported in the system virtualization environments that are often used to improve ...
