New donor–acceptor conjugated alternating or random copolymers containing 1-methyl-2- phenylbenzimidazole and benzothiadiazole (P1), diketopyrrolopyrrole (P4), or both acceptors (P2) are reported. The specific feature of ...

In search of new cytotoxic derivatives based on the lupane scaffold, the seco-lupane azides were coupled with a number of alkynes under the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC) conditions to afford 1,2,3-triazoles. Phenylalkynes ...

Although bowl-shaped N-pyrrolic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can achieve excellent electron-donating ability, their application for optoelectronics is hampered by typically low photoluminescence quantum yields ...

Formation of sterically hindered C−C double bonds via catalytic olefin metathesis is considered a very challenging task for Ru catalysts. This limitation led to the development of specialised catalysts bearing sterically ...

The truxene molecule is more versatile and widespread than ever imagined. At the end of the last century, this star-shaped structure was recognized mostly in liquid crystals. However, the development of optoelectronics ...

Hyperfluorescence (HF), a relatively new phenomenon utilizing the transfer of excitons between two luminophores, requires careful pairwise tuning of molecular energy levels and is proposed to be the crucial step towards ...

Here we describe the inclusion of the minor-groove binding drug pentamidine in its extended conformation into the macrocyclic cavity of water-soluble carboxylated pillar[5]arene. The artificial host–guest system is manifested ...

A sterically crowded light-responsive host 1 was synthetized with a 93% yield by applying a post-functionalization protocol utilizing the double amidation of 4,4′-azodibenzoyl dichloride with a readily available 26-membered ...

Simple D-hexoses such as D-glucose, D-mannose, and D-galactose were found to form supramolecular complexes with folic acid (FA) in phosphate-buffered saline solution (PBS, pH 7.4) and in the gas phase. Pterin subunit of ...

Since the first preparation of triptycene, great progress has been made with respect to its synthesis and the understanding of its properties. Interest in triptycene-based systems is intense; in recent years, advances ...
