Dendrimers and supramolecular chemistry [PDF]
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 ...

Key Trends and Insights in Smart Polymeric Skin Wearable Patches
Intelligent polymers, which respond to various physical and biological stimuli, are explored for the development of skin wearable patches in biomedical applications. Smart polymers, also known as intelligent or stimuli‐responsive polymers, play a crucial role in the development of advanced wearable patches due to their versatility and softness.

Noncovalent Interactions in Supramolecular Complexes: A Study on Corannulene and the Double Concave Buckycatcher [PDF]
Stimulated by the recent observation of {\pi}-{\pi} interactions between C60 and corannulene subunits in a molecular tweezer arrangement (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 3842), a density functional theory study was performed to analyze the electronic structure and properties of various noncovalent corannulene complexes.

An Analytical Method for Detecting Toxic Metal Cations Using Cyclotriveratrylene Derivative Capped Gold Nanoparticles [PDF]
Cyclotriveratrylene-oxime (CTV-oxime) derivatives that terminate with a dithiolate linker were synthesized enabling the supramolecular scaffold to adhere to gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with the bowl-shaped cavity of the CTV scaffold exposed for ...

Structural diversification of pillar[n]arene macrocycles [PDF]
Despite the fact that pillar[n]arenes receive major interest as building blocks for supramolecular chemistry and advanced materials, their functionalization is generally limited to the modification of the hydroxy or alkoxy units present on the rims. This

PBTTT‐OR‐R, a C14‐alkoxy/alkyl‐PBTTT polymer derivative, is of substantial interest for optoelectronics due to its specific fullerene intercalation behavior and enhanced charge‐transfer absorption. Comparing this polymer with (S) and without (O) homocoupling defects reveals that PBTTT‐OR‐R(O) forms stable co‐crystals with PC61BM, while PBTTT‐OR‐R(S ...

Potential curves illustrating a dissipative self-assembly system and the meaning of away-from-equilibrium [PDF]
Dissipative self-assembly is a recently proposed concept in the field of non-equilibrium systems. This concept catches the reader's attention owing to its relationship with life phenomena. Recently, Credi's group has reported the behavior of a directional supramolecular pump that works under continuous light irradiation with the regime of dissipative ...
