Journal ArticleDOI
Noncovalent synthesis using hydrogen bonding
TL;DR: Noncovalent synthesis based on the reversible formation of multiple hydrogen bonds is described and the development of novel materials (nanotubes, liquid crystals, polymers, etc.) and principles that recently have emanated from this intriguing field of research are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete asymmetric chirality in a hydrogen-bonded assembly
TL;DR: In this paper, a diastereoselective assembly of enantio-pure calix[4]arene dimelamines and 5,5-diethylbarbituric acid (DEB) into chiral hydrogen-bonded structures of one handedness is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissipative self-assembly of vesicular nanoreactors.
TL;DR: It is shown that the lifetime of the vesicles can be regulated by controlling the hydrolysis rate of ATP, and a new strategy for the dissipative self-assembly of functional supramolecular structures with high structural complexity is shown.
Journal ArticleDOI
An enantiomerically pure hydrogen-bonded assembly
TL;DR: The design of supramolecular structures from achiral calix[4]arene dimelamines and cyanurates are reported, which form multiple cooperative hydrogen bonds that together provide sufficient stability to allow the isolation of enantiomerically pure assemblies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy consumption in chemical fuel-driven self-assembly
Giulio Ragazzon,Leonard J. Prins +1 more
TL;DR: From the analysis, it emerges that chemically fuelled dissipative processes may have played a crucial role in evolutionary processes and current experimental approaches and conceptual frameworks are brought closer together.
