The DOTA macrocyclic cavity in metallic radiopharmaceuticals: Mythology or reality? [PDF]
Background The hypothetical concept of ‘macrocyclic cavity’ is largely employed as useful model to interpret the affinity of metal ions for the macrocyclic chelating ligand 2,2′,2′′,2′′′-(1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetrayl)tetraacetic acid ...

Head-to-tail assembled borphyrins for solid-state lithium extraction [PDF]
Lithium is a critical mineral for advancing greener technologies. Extraction of lithium ions (Li⁺) from sea salt, minerals, and waste is important, but has been hindered by the lack of extraction methods that offer both high selectivity and strong ...

Non-macrocyclic molecular design enables cavity-adaptive cocrystals with high elasticity and low-threshold lasing [PDF]
The construction of cavity-adaptive cocrystals (CACs) based on linear non-macrocyclic π-conjugated hosts remains challenging due to their inherently weak and less predictable binding capabilities compared to conventional macrocyclic hosts.
