A recent update on how solid state NMR has aided the interpretation and understanding of host–guest interactions in field supramolecular assemblies is provided.

The maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of the host-guest type organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with interface exciplex as host has been over 36%. However, studies about energy transfer processes occurring from to guest remain lacking. Herein, a strategy is proposed probe in interface-type OLEDs by utilizing characteristic magneto-electroluminescence (MEL) response hot exciton revers...

Supramolecular A8Bn miktoarm star copolymers were fabricated by host–guest complexation between a cavitand-based coordination capsule possessing eight polystyrene arms and biphenyl guest molecules with one, two, or four polymethyl acrylate arms, as reported Takeharu Haino co-workers in their Research Article (e202219001). The stability of the A8B1, A8B2, A8B4 polymers is influenced number polym...

The orientational phase diagram and ordering of guest liquid crystalline (LC) rods in a host liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) matrix quenched below the glass transition is determined by field theory. Microscopic anisotropic interactions can align the LC rods to each other and also align LCP matrix side chains and the LC rods in the plane normal to the local LCP chain contour. Our numerical anal...

The energy minimization of a small molecule alone does not automatically stop at a local minimum of the potential energy surface of the molecule if the minimum is shallow, thus leading to folding of the molecule and consequently hampering the generation of the bound conformation of a guest in the absence of its host. This questions the practicality of virtual screening methods that use conforma...

Host-guest complexes between cryptophane-A as host and dichloromethane and chloroform as guests are investigated using (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy. Moreover, a related cryptophane, with the methoxy groups replaced by butoxy units (cryptophane-But), and its complexes with the same guests were also studied. Variable temperature spectra showed effects of chemical exchange between the free and ...

Ultralong organic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials have attracted tremendous attention recently due to their diverse applications. Several ultralong RTP mimicking the host-guest architecture of inorganic systems been exploited successfully. However, complicated synthesis and high expenditure are still inevitable in these studies. Herein, we develop a series novel systems, which ...

A sequence-controlled supramolecular copolymer was constructed by self-sorting assembly of metal coordination and two types host–guest interactions.

For host–guest chemistry, working on biological targets starts with learning how to make systems that work in warm, salty water.

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.
