Nonclassical platinum-based antitumor agents have shown enormous potential in the treatment of chemoresistant cancers. The design of these agents is based on the hypothesis that platinum-containing pharmacophores that re...
Three sub-10 nm platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) with distinctive morphologies were developed by using cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) as stabilizing agent and support. Both the size and shape of the PtNPs were simultaneously cont...
Fluorescent dyes emitting red light are frequently used in conventional and super-resolution microscopy of biological samples, although the variety of the useful dyes is limited. We describe the synthesis of rhodamine-ba...
Molecular scaffolds have been shown to facilitate and stabilise secondary structural turn elements, with a central core-arranging functionality in a defined three-dimensional orientation. In a peptide-based molecular ima...
The Group XIV tetratolyl series X(C6H4-CH3)4 (X=C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) were studied by using inelastic neutron scattering to measure the low-energy phonon spectra to directly access the methyl-group torsional modes. The effe...
One of the fundamental problems in supramolecular chemistry, as well as in material sciences, is how to control the self-assembly of polymers on the nanometer scale and how to spontaneously organize them towards the macr...
