By coupling the features of binaphthalene and anthracene, new binaphthalenes with two anthracene moieties were designed and synthesized, aiming at developing chiral molecular switches. A strong CD sig
A hydrazone-based rotary switch, having a quinolinyl stator and a pyridine ring as part of the rotor, can be induced using pH to undergo a four-step switching sequence. This process yields three stabl
A dipicolylamine (DPA) attached to an aldehyde moiety cyclizes to form a pyridinium-fused heterocycle. This intramolecular reaction between the pyridine and aldehyde moieties is reversible, and the po
Designing macrocycles with appropriate molecular recognition features that allow for the integration of suitable external stimuli to control host–guest processes is a challenging endeavor which enable
