Shape‐Controlled Guanine Self‐Assemblies for Stable and Fast‐Ion Solid–Electrolyte Interphases in Sustainable Li Metal Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The shape of guanine self‐assemblies is tuned by introducing alkyl (G8), fluoroalkyl (G8f), and oligoether (G8g) side chains into the G moiety. The scanning tunneling microscopy results and calculations show that the presence and type of the side chain strongly affect the G self‐assembly network.

Supramolecular chemistry and technology

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2000
Supramolecular chemistry deals with the association of several chemical species, in an organized way and according to well defined purposes. Based on a molecular engineering approach, supramolecular structures can be designed from pre-formed building ...

Reinforced molecular recognition as an alternative to rigid receptors [PDF]

, 2006
In theory, a perfectly rigid receptor will probably be an unbeatable binder. However, rigidity may not be easy to achieve in practice and it is certainly not Nature’s method to realise high affinity. In many proteins binding affinity is increased through

Establishing a Model Precursor System: Over a Decade of Research on Carbon Dots from the Citric Acid‐Urea System

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The citric acid/urea (CA‐Urea) precursor system offers a versatile, scalable route to carbon dots with tunable luminescence and multifunctionality. Mechanistic insights into precursor chemistry and reaction parameters have enabled doping, surface modification, and hybridization strategies, yielding CDs for luminescent devices, sensing, catalysis ...

Metals in supramolecular chemistry

Inorganica Chimica Acta, 2014
Metals have played a fundamental role in the development of supramolecular chemistry. The main steps taken from the pre-supramolecular age to the present time are retraced with a brief description of salient examples from the unconscious use of gold nanoparticle in the preparation of the Lycurgus cup (5th or 4th century B.C.) to the modern use of ...

Robust Polymer Hydrogels Improve Electric‐Fish‐Inspired Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Electric‐fish‐inspired hydrogel batteries based on ion‐concentration gradients offer an attractive route to soft power sources; however, the poor mechanical properties of existing hydrogels limit device assembly and performance. Here, we report poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate hydrogels that enable ion‐gradient batteries composed of

Crystallographic investigation into the self-assembly, guest binding, and flexibility of urea functionalised metal-organic frameworks [PDF]

, 2017
Introduction of hydrogen bond functionality into metal-organic frameworks can enhance guest binding and activation, but a combination of linker flexibility and interligand hydrogen bonding often results in the generation of unwanted structures where the ...

The Terminal Domains of Collagen‐Like Silk Direct Molecular Interactions and Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation‐Mediated Material Assembly

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Terminal domains of recombinant collagen‐like silk regulate hierarchical self‐assembly across molecular and material scales. We show that terminal domains of collagen‐like silk enhance triple‐helix stability and drive liquid–liquid phase separation, enabling reversible formation of fibers and self‐healing films.

Design Strategies and Emerging Applications of High‐Performance Flexible Piezoresistive Pressure Sensors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Flexible piezoresistive pressure sensors underpin wearable and soft electronics. This review links sensing physics, including contact resistance modulation, quantum tunneling and percolation, to unified materials/structure design. We highlight composite and graded architectures, interfacial/porous engineering, and microstructured 3D conductive networks

Dendrimers and supramolecular chemistry [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2002
Since their introduction in 1985 by Tomalia et al. (1) and Newkome et al. (2), dendrimers have attracted much attention because of their fascinating structure and unique properties (3, 4). Dendrimers are globular, size monodisperse macromolecules in which all bonds emerge radially from a central focal point or core with a regular branching pattern and ...
