TL;DR: The main focus of as discussed by the authors is the self-assembly in aqueous solutions of bowl-shaped sodium p-sulfonatocalix[4,5]arenes with main group, transition metal and lanthanoid species, and with various organic molecules as additional supramolecular building components, for example 18-crown-6, and other macrocycles, pyridine Noxide, amino-acids, and more.

TL;DR: This tutorial review covers aspects of CTV chemistry interest to supramolecular, coordination and host-guest chemists as well as those interested in self-organised systems.

TL;DR: A tripodal cyclotriveratrylene-based ligand with chelating 2,2‘-bipyridine arms self-assembles with either Zn(NO3)2 or Co(NO2)2 to give 3-D trigonal bipyramidal [M3L2] cage assemblies that have been characterized by mass spectrometry and by X-ray crystallography.

TL;DR: This work has shown that the internal volume of the cuboctahedron is approximately 30% greater than that of the icosahedron, and the shell of the Cuboctahedral Archimedean solid is porous.

TL;DR: An example of a new type of threaded 3D metallosupramolecular assembly built from four organic ligands and four palladium ions, a Pd4L4 so-called ‘Solomon's cube’ in which interweaving and twisting of the ligands form both Solomon's links and figure-of-eight ring motifs.
