Ferrocene is a key molecule for developing molecular machines. However, it readily decomposes on the surface of flat noble metal substrates, marking a significant challenge. Now researchers have ...

With this in mind, an international research team has developed a perovskite solar cell that utilizes crown ethers to power conversion efficiency and moisture-related stability. The researchers ...

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows that NKU-300 has a three-dimensional open framework with triangular channels decorated with crown ether sites. Surprisingly, desolvated NKU-300 ...

Artificial molecular machines, nanoscale machines consisting of a few molecules, offer the potential to transform fields involving catalysts ...

Long phenylethynyl ligands were modified to bear macrocyclic polyether rings — 34- and 36-membered crown ethers that have been extensively used as receptors for electron-deficient molecules.
