Structurally Diverse Macrocycle Co-Crystals for Solid-State Luminescence Modulation
Organic co-crystals are useful in the fabrication of functional materials, but it is challenging to achieve structural diversity of co-crystals. Here, the authors report nine sets of macrocycle co-crystals with diverse structures and stoichiometric ratios giving different luminescence properties.
On-body detection of unamplified nucleic acid
Wearables have been an emerging wave of technology for continuous monitoring a wide range of biomarkers, but is often overlooked in nucleic acid detection. This study dives into a toolbox for highly sensitive nucleic acid recognition in vivo.
Cross-catenation between position-isomeric metallacages
The study of cross-catenated metallacages, which are complex self-assembly systems arising from multiple supramolecular interactions and hierarchical assembly processes, is currently lacking. We report a cross-catenane formed between two position-isomeric Pt(II) metallacages in the solid state.
