TL;DR: The synthesis, self assembly and magnetic properties of a polychlorotriphenylmethyl radical, substituted with six meta-carboxylic groups, are reported showing that radical-radical hydrogen bonds in the solid state yield to very weak intermolecular ferromagnetic interactions.

TL;DR: It is proven experimentally and with numerical simulations that microfluidic technologies can undoubtedly fine-tune reaction times and reagents concentration profiles; factors that enable out-of-equilibrium crystal forms to be obtained.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated how the protein shell of ferritins can be removed by a simple heat-treatment process while maintaining the encapsulated inorganic nanoparticle intact on the same location of the nanoarray.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new approach that uses the polyhedral shape of metal-organic-framework (MOF) particles to direct the assembly of colloidal clusters is presented. But the approach is based on controlling the attachment of a single spherical polystyrene particle on each face of a polyhedral particle via colloidal fusion synthesis, so that the final coordination number defines the final geometry of the assembled colloidal cluster.

TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis, X-ray crystallographic structure, and water uptake measurements of the first coordination polymer made of cyclodextrin and a transition metal ion (in this case, Cu2+) are shown.
