TL;DR: Prepared MOFs that incorporate macrocyclic ethers into the structural ligands comprising the framework walls within which certain cationic guests can bind quantitatively and site-specifically, akin to the molecular docking of drug molecules within protein receptors are prepared.

TL;DR: A small organic molecule is reported that organizes into a noncovalent organic framework with large empty pores, stable to at least 250 °C and porous, with an accessible surface area of 1,159 m(2) g(-1).

TL;DR: Three perfluorinated Cu-based metal-organic frameworks were prepared starting from extensively fluorinated biphenyl-based ligands accessed via C-H functionalization, which are among the most water-repellent MOFs ever reported.

TL;DR: The mild reaction conditions, remarkable functional group compatibility, and complete regioselectivity of the Cu-catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between organic azides and terminal alkynes have led to a threading-followed-by-stoppering approach to the synthesis of donor-acceptor rotaxanes incorporating cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) (CBPQT4+) as the pi-accepting

TL;DR: The potential for utilizing mechanically interlocked architectures as device components capable of information storage, the delivery of therapeutic agents, or other desirable functions has increased significantly as a result of the development of these improved synthetic protocols.
