In recent years, modulating amphiphilic assembly by macrocyclic receptors has been emerging as a fantastic topic. As we know, amphiphiles possess ability of selfassembly in aqueous solution due to their unique structures, resulting in important biological functions and various applications in our daily life and industry. Among methods to modulate their assembly behavior, using macrocyclic compounds as amphiphile adapto Read More

In recent years, several efforts have been made for developing simple and costeffective strategies for eliminating multiple organic and inorganic pollutants from wastewater. Pharmaceuticals, dyes and heavy metals expelled from pharmaceutical and textile industries, frequently coexist in wastewater and exhibit different complex properties, which makes the respective individual or simultaneous removal processes a contin Read More

In the publication, a number of intermolecular factors associated with hydrogen bonded complexes were described. Those were discussed in the light of substituent electronic effect and steric hindrance, electron intra- and intermolecular repulsion and conformational equilibrium. The intermolecular forces that might be used in the design of molecular aggregates were discussed in the light of the hydrogen bonding ene Read More

Calix[n]arenes – are easily accessible three-dimensional macrocyclic compounds. Modified calix[n]arenes capable with high selectivity recognize, bind in supramolecular complexes and separate substrates of similar properties such as cations, anions, gases, neutral organic molecules, and biomolecules. This review summarizes data on application as radionuclide extractants and sorbents, sensitive layer of chemosensors, po Read More

Self-assembled supramolecular gels have recently emerged as promising confined media for the incorporation of a wide range of donor–acceptor chromophoric assemblies, allowing highly efficient photon upconversion processes at weak solar irradiance even under aerobic conditions in some cases. Supramolecular gels made of dense intermolecular interaction networks such as hydrogen bonding have been demonstrated to o Read More
