[Abstract] Metal‐driven self‐assembly afforded a multitude of fascinating supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs) with applications as catalysts, host–guest, and stimuli‐responsive systems. However, the interest in ...

[Abstract] We present herein the development of a new polycationic cyclophane: the “red box”, second in a series of hydrazone-based analogues of the well-known organic receptor cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene)cyclophane ...

[Abstract] Many cellular processes in living organisms are regulated by complex regulatory networks, built from noncovalent interactions between relatively few proteins that perform their functions by switching between ...

[Abstract] We present herein the implementation of pH-responsiveness into a new polycationic macrobicyclic structure, namely what we have termed the “red cage”. The hydrolytically-stable cryptand-like compound has been ...

[Abstract] Synthetic supramolecular chemistry pursues not only the construction of new matter, but also control over its inherently dynamic behaviour. In this context, classic host–guest chemistry, based on the development ...

[Abstract] Peptides have become excellent platforms for the design of peptide–nanoparticle hybrid superstructures, owing to their self-assembly and binding/recognition capabilities. Morover, peptide sequences can be encoded ...

[Abstract] We present herein the development of a series of viologen–amino acid hybrids, obtained in good yields either by successive alkylations of 4,4′-bipyridine, or by Zincke reactions followed by a second alkylation ...

[Abstract] The synthesis of new triphenylphosphonium-capped cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7])- and cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8])-based [2]rotaxanes was achieved by a simultaneous threading-capping strategy. While the use of CB[7] produced ...

[Abstract] We present herein the “vermellogens”, a new class of pH-responsive viologen analogues, which replace the direct linking between para-substituted pyridinium moieties within those by a hydrazone functional group. ...
