Low‐entropy‐penalty synthesis of giant macrocycles for good self‐assembly and emission enhancement
Macrocycles are key tools for molecular recognition and self‐assembly. However, traditionally prevalent macrocyclic compounds exhibit specific cavities with diameters usually less than 1 nm, limiting their range of applications in supramolecular ...

A single‐molecule cascade supramolecular system comprising L/D‐FPy, CB[8], and SC4AD serves as an efficient light‐harvesting platform. It facilitates cascade energy transfer and chiral transfer to acceptor dyes. Co‐assembly with a PVA matrix produces a multicolor solid film that exhibits enhanced luminescence dissymmetry factors (glum), enabling ...

Within the same molecular length scale, antiaromatic s‐indacene exhibits a marked increase in conductance compared to its aromatic benzodithiophene counterpart. Notably, the inherently small HOMO–LUMO gap of antiaromatic systems maintains a certain level of conductance even in the presence of cross‐conjugation.

A Review of Macrocycles Applied in Electrochemical Energy Storge and Conversion
Macrocycles composed of diverse aromatic or nonaromatic structures, such as cyclodextrins (CDs), calixarenes (CAs), cucurbiturils (CBs), and pillararenes (PAs), have garnered significant attention due to their inherent advantages of possessing cavity ...

Enzyme‐Like Synthetic Cleft for Light‐Driven Water‐Oxidation Catalysis Via an Oxide Relay Pathway
A carboxylic acid group introduced into the second coordination sphere of a Ru(bda) water oxidation catalyst forms a defined hydrogen bond within the catalytic cleft. This interaction locks the group in place and enables an intramolecular oxide relay pathway between Ru(V)═O and the carboxylate group, providing a distinct and efficient route for O─O ...

Mechanically Interlocked Indigo Photoswitches
By incorporating indigo photoswitches into the axle of a rotaxane, which features a hydrogen bonding macrocycle, we demonstrate improvement in activation wavelength, photostationary states and thermal reversion, an effect that is governed by topologically constrained supramolecular interactions.
