Researchers design a vapor-controlled reversible host–guest chemistry system that controls the optical and physical properties of a functional molecular liquid. The FML's optical and physical properties change immediately upon forming a host–guest complex, but can be restored by exposing it to hexane vapors.
Scientists at The University of Osaka developed a polymeric adhesive that can be reused repeatedly by introducing reversible bonds into the interface. This technology could improve manufacturing yield, reduce costs and minimize waste.
Researchers developed a novel cyclic molecule that selectively traps phosphate species through multi-point hydrogen bonding in harmony with water molecules. The findings provide guidelines to design new cyclic molecules for aqueous environments, significant for materials development.
Researchers from the University of Tokyo have developed a physics-based predictive tool that quickly identifies stable intercalated materials for advanced electronics and energy storage devices. By analyzing over 9,000 compounds, the tool uses straightforward principles from undergraduate chemistry to predict host-guest stability.
A ferrocene-based capsule with unusual charge-transfer interactions has been synthesized, allowing for reversible encapsulation and release of guest molecules. The capsule can bind to a variety of organic and inorganic dyes and electron-accepting molecules, demonstrating its potential applications in medicine, biotechnology, and chemic...

Northwestern University researchers create novel biomaterial that enhances neuron growth, a crucial finding for regenerative medicine. The material's bioactive properties allow cells to penetrate and interact with bioactive signals, potentially treating neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.
Scientists create self-assembly of interlocked structures, including linear [3]catenanes, Borromean rings and ring-in-ring complexes, using bithiophenyl groups as building blocks. The new method enables the formation of heterogeneous D-A ring-in-ring complex.
Recent developments in COFs' postsynthetic functionalization have introduced wide ranges of organic to inorganic functional constituents, enhancing stability and performance. The authors emphasize the importance of functionalization for creating COF-based smart materials, highlighting challenges in their future development.
Scientists at Kanazawa University develop a spherical vanadium oxide cluster that selectively traps carbon dioxide over carbon monoxide. The 'flipped' structure allows for efficient separation of the two gases.
Researchers have improved the bonding in mechanically linked molecules by developing a method to increase the association constant of host-guest interactions, allowing for longer self-assembled chains. By utilizing hydrogen bonding instead of covalent chemistry, they were able to overcome the difficulty of creating rigid macrocycles.
