TL;DR: This tutorial review provides an outlook on nanomaterials that are currently being used for theranostic purposes, with a special focus on mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSNP) based materials.

TL;DR: An iterative exponential growth plus side-chain functionalization (IEG+) strategy that begins with enantiopure epoxides and facilitates the efficient synthesis of a family of uniform >3 kDa macromolecules of varying sequence and stereoconfiguration that are coupled to produce unimolecular polymers with sequences and structures that cannot be obtained using traditional polymerization techniques.

TL;DR: A template-directed protocol is employed to synthesize a semi-rigid cyclophane that adopts a box-like geometry and is comprised of π-electron-poor 1,4-phenylene-bridged ("extended") bipyridinium units (ExBIPY(2+)), resulting in the isolation of different aromatic compounds after ExBox·4Cl was regenerated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a uniform and crack-free metalorganic framework (MOF) thin film composed of free-standing acicular nanorods was grown on a transparent conducting glass substrate, which exhibits electrochromic switching between yellow and deep blue by means of a one-electron redox reaction at its pyrene-based linkers.

TL;DR: This Account serves as an exploration of the properties that emerge from these structural modifications of the pyridinium-based hosts, coupled with a call for further investigation into the wealth of properties inherent in this class of compounds.
