In a coordination cage which contains an array of twelve naphthyl chromophores surrounding a central cavity, photoinduced energy or electron-transfer can occur from the chromophore array to the bound guest in supramolecular host/guest complexes.

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 systems with guest binding ability in water and/or biological fluids are a current challenge in supramolecular host–guest chemistry. Here we present the first syntheses of water-soluble N-ethanol ammonium resorcinarene chlorides (NARCls) with terminal hydroxyl groups at the upper rim. The NARCls possess deep cavities and are shown to bind a variety of guest molecules such as linear and cyc...

Reliability of a performance model is quintessential to the robust resource management of applications on the cloud platform. Existing studies show that the contention for shared I/O induces temporal performance variations in a guest VM and heterogeneity in the underlying hardware leads to relative performance difference between guest VMs of the same abstract type. In this work, we demonstrate ...

This manuscript is concerned with the opening and closing of a capsuleplex made up of organic guest molecules and two cavitand molecules known as octaacid (OA). The capsuleplex is loosely held together in water through weak interactions. We have investigated the opening–closing of the OA capsuleplex by monitoring the quenching of excited singlet and (or) triplet states of nine different guest m...

Having considered current reports concerning plagiarisms taking place in the global science community, the authors decided to address the principal reasons, which lead to these illegalities. In recent years, misconduct in research, such as plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, guest author, ghost author, self-citation, etc. have been increasing significantly in scientific papers, proving a la...

We report the synthesis of MOF-on-MOF hybrids with core–shell and core–satellite structures in one selected MOF host–guest couple by controlling heterogeneous nucleation homogeneous growth guest MOFs.

We present a redox-responsive self-assembly based on a unimolecular platform. Three double-headed amphiphilic molecules composed of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and ferrocene (Fc) each with an alkyl chain as a linker (βCD-Cm-Fc, m = 2, 6, and 10) were synthesized, and their self-assembly behaviors were investigated. The molecules self-assembled into polydisperse micelles that transformed into vesicles...
