TL;DR: A conductive 2D metal-organic framework involving intercalation pseudocapacitance mechanism for enhanced rate capability and key insights into high-performance, 2D conductive MOF designs for battery electrodes are provided.

TL;DR: In this article, two rotaxanes, comprised of a dibenzo[24]crown-8 (DB24C8) macroring bound mechanically to a chemical dumbbell possessing two different recognition sitesviz., secondary dialkylammonium (NH2+) and 4,4'-bipyridinium (Bpym2+) units have been synthesized by using the supramolecular assistance to synthesis provided by, inter alia, hydrogen bonding interactions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the principles that have been developed for fabricating reliable molecular junctions and tuning their intrinsic properties from an engineering perspective, along with the open challenges in the field.

TL;DR: In this article, a single molecular monolayer of bistable rotaxanes sandwiched between two 40-nm metal electrodes was fabricated using imprint lithography, and it was observed that it has high on-off ratios and reversible switching properties.

TL;DR: The experimental results indicate that the trans-azobenzene units are bound strongly within the cavities of 2 whereas the cis-azabenzene is not bound at all.
