Mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) not only represent non-trivial synthetic challenges that require the state of the art in structural designs and precise preparations, but also play critical ...

The term aromaticity was initially introduced to describe the properties of molecules with special aromatic odor, such as benzene, and now is considered as one of the most important concepts in ...

The molecular-scale design of materials is one of the major frontiers in modern science. Flat, highly conjugated organic molecules are already used in advanced technologies such as chemical sensors, ...

Scientists created dye-based molecules that self-assemble into ring-shaped structures, mimicking nature's light-harvesting systems. These stacked rings allow electrons and energy to circulate freely, ...

Supramolecular chemistry involves the study of self-assembly of discrete molecules that are used to build large functional structures. Often, these molecules are allowed to self-assemble into ...
