Architecture-Controllable Single-Crystal Helical Self-assembly of Small-Molecule Disulfides with Dynamic Chirality

Beyond the common supramolecular helical polymers in solutions, controlling single-crystal helical self-assembly with precisely defined chirality and architectures has been challenging. Here, we report that simply merging static homochiral amino acids with ...

Supramolecular Modifications of Semicrystalline Polymers

Michael Alan Giffin

Supramolecular interactions play an important role in defining the structure and the resulting mechanical properties of materials. For instance, interchain hydrogen-bonding in PAs gives them superior strength and stiffness in engineering materials, while t ...

La Scène-Eau. Une ouverture sur l'espace théâtral du Lac Léman

Nina Mosca

Le Lac Léman est une sublime scène naturelle. Le projet emmène acteurs et spectateurs, tous confondus et rassemblés, sur un dispositif en gradins, échafaudé sur l’eau, qui crée une seconde scène. Cette structure, qui renverse la configuration du théâtre an ...

Insight into the Growth of Anisotropic CdSe Nanocrystals: Attachment of Intrinsically Different Building Blocks

Martinus Gijs, Virendra Kumar Parashar, Xiaopeng Huang

An in-depth understanding of the growth mechanism of nanocrystals (NCs) is of great significance for shape control of colloidal semiconductor nanostructures. In this study, we elucidate the formation mechanism of anisotropic CdSe NCs by systematically inve ...

The role of xanthophylls in the supramolecular organization of the photosynthetic complex LHCII in lipid membranes studied by high-resolution imaging and nanospectroscopy

Giovanni Dietler, Jiangtao Zhou

The xanthophyll cycle is a regulatory mechanism operating in the photosynthetic apparatus of plants. It consists of the conversion of the xanthophyll pigment violaxanthin to zeaxanthin, and vice versa, in response to light intensity. According to the curre ...

Cages vs. Prisms: Controlling the Formation of Metallosupramolecular Architectures with Ligand Side-Chains

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Giacomo Cecot, Ophélie Marie Planes, Andrea Luca Ramorini, Martin Tim Doll

Metallosupramolecular assemblies of the general formula M2nLn can adopt prismatic or cage‐like structures. The factors controlling the aggregation number n and the geometry of the final assembly are still not fully understood. Here, we describe the synthes ...

Beyond the Hofmeister Series: Ion-Specific Effects on Proteins and Their Biological Functions

Halil Ibrahim Okur

Ions differ in their ability to salt out proteins from solution as expressed in the lyotropic or Hofmeister series of cations and anions. Since its first formulation in 1888, this series has been invoked in a plethora of effects, going beyond the original ...

Reversible Local and Global Switching in Multicomponent Supramolecular Networks: Controlled Guest Release and Capture at the Solution/Solid Interface

Magalí Alejandra Lingenfelder, Fernando Pablo Cometto

Dynamically switchable supramolecular systems offer exciting possibilities in building smart surfaces, the structure and thus the function of which can be controlled by using external stimuli. Here we demonstrate an elegant approach where the guest binding ...
