Fluorescence-switching 2-D sheet structure formed by self-assembly of cruciform aromatic amphiphiles

Abstract

We report that aromatic amphiphiles based on cruciform aromatic segments self-assemble into 2-D sheet structures in aqueous environments.

Correction: Self-division of 2-D sheets in aromatic macrocycle assembly

Dynamic supramolecular nanosheet structures formed by aromatic amphiphiles and their functions

Abstract

This review describes the recent progress in the development of nanosheet structures through the self-assembly of π-conjugated aromatic amphiphiles. We expect our research progress will provide a new strategy for broadening the application areas of self-assembled 2D nanosheet structures.

Thermally labile mono-alkyl phosphates and their alkali metal derivatives: synthesis and solid-state supramolecular aggregation

Abstract

Alkali metal hydroxides interact with newly synthesized mono-alkyl phosphates to yield hydrogen-bonded 2-D solids which on thermolysis or co-thermolysis with a cobalt source yield ceramic phosphates such as MPO₃ and MCoPO₄ (M = Li and Na).

Pillared MOFs: structure and ring opening polymerization of cyclic esters

Abstract

Pillared 2- and 3D MOFs have been isolated from reactions of 5-aminoisophthalic acid, 4,4′-bipyridyls and metal (Zn, Co, Mn, Cd) nitrate salts. Their ability to act as catalysts for the ROP of ε-caprolactone and δ-valerolactone has been investigated.
