Photo-controlled reversible multicolor luminescent supramolecular assembly by multicharged β-cyclodextrin
The article describes the construction of a photo-controlled reversible multicolor luminescent supramolecular assembly on an agarose substrate by non-covalent interactions.
Two-Dimensional Polycyclodextrins for Strong Multivalent Host-Guest Interactions at Biointerfaces
While 2D polymers with aromatic backbones have been increasingly receiving interest from various scientific disciplines, their nonaromatic counterparts are less
Novel fluorescent CD as theranostic platform for anticancer agents delivery
A novel β-cyclodextrin-aza[5]helicene conjugate as theranostic platform for anticancer agents delivery in cancer cells is reported. The carrier was synthesized
New methods of modification of α-cyclodextrin
While being some of the oldest supramolecular hosts, cyclodextrins remain very popular as molecular binders in materials, devices, artificial enzymes
Synthesis of cyclodextrin-based polyrotaxanes and polycatenanes for supramolecular pharmaceutical sciences
This nicely illustrated review article summarizes the syntheses and structural analyses of CD polyrotaxanes and polycatenanes to facilitate their applications
Mirror-Image Cyclodextrins
Natural cyclodextrins (CDs) have waited for about 130 years until they could see their mirror image when looking into the
