Mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) not only represent non-trivial synthetic challenges that require the state of the art in structural designs and precise preparations, but also play critical ...

Scientists created dye-based molecules that self-assemble into ring-shaped structures, mimicking nature's light-harvesting systems. These stacked rings allow electrons and energy to circulate freely, ...

We pioneer the use of an aromatic hydrocarbon derivative to break through the limitation of molecular conductors. The constituent molecules for conductors have been practically limited to planar ...
