TL;DR: The time taken to produce the ubiquitous and promiscuous receptor, which has become known as the little “blue box”, has been halved as a result of using a pH-responsive derivative of 1,5-diaminonaphthalene to displace the template employed during its synthesis.

TL;DR: The success of the copper(I) 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between azides and alkynes, resulting in the triazole ring has inspired the application of other emerging click reactions, for example, Diels-Aldercycloadditions, thiol-ene/yne chemistry, and nitrile N-oxide cycloadDitions, towards the creation of advanced functional supramolecular and mechanostereochemical systems.

TL;DR: The enzymatic degradation of starch can be monitored electronically using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as semiconducting probes in field-effect transistors (FETs) using incubation of these devices in aqueous buffer solutions of amyloglucosidase.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Paraquat [PQT] 2+ and Diquat [DQT 2+ dications were shown to form 1:1 complexes with the 1,5-di-naphtho units.
