TL;DR: In a systematic review of scaffold architectures, the underlying effects and control options will be demonstrated, and suggestions will be given for designing effective multivalent binding systems, as well as for polyvalent therapeutics.

TL;DR: It is concluded that anion-pi interactions on monomeric surfaces are ideal for chloride recognition, whereas their supramolecular enhancement by pi,pi-interactions appears perfect to target nitrate.

TL;DR: Some important features of motors and their (potential) realization in simpler artificial model systems are discussed, that is, the molecular mobility of mechanically bound molecules, the importance of chirality for unidirectional motion, the sources of energy for driving the rotation, and the potential of using membranes and surfaces for ordering a large number of devices to achieve macroscopic effects.

TL;DR: The modularity, programmability, and emergent properties of integrative self-sorting are reviewed, emphasizing its utility and perspective for complex supramolecular architectures.

TL;DR: The state-of-the-art in supramolecular chemistry is described, and topics such as the effects of solvation on meta binding to crown ethers, chiral discrimination of guests by chiral hosts, the elucidation of the secondary structure of self assembled complexes, and the mechanistic pathways of self assembly or the fragmentations of supramolescular complexes in the gas phase are described.
