TL;DR: Stacking on a full belly: Triangular molecular prisms display electron sharing among their triangularly arranged naphthalenediimide (NDI) redox centers to form supramolecular helices in the solid state.

TL;DR: The synthesis by radical templation of a class of air- and water-stable organic radicals, trapped within a homo[2]catenane composed of two rigid and fixed cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) rings, proved remarkably resilient to oxygen exposure.

TL;DR: It has been proven that the mechanically interlocked nature of the [3]catenanes facilitates the formation of the TTF radical dimers under redox control, allowing an investigation to be performed on these intermolescular interactions in a so-called "molecular flask" under ambient conditions in considerable detail.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates that electron hopping through the pi-stacked PDI molecules is fast enough to compete effectively with charge recombination in these systems, making these materials of interest as photoactive assemblies for artificial photosynthesis and organic photovoltaics.

TL;DR: The data suggest that hole injection and transport in these hairpins is completely dominated by polaron generation and movement to a trap site rather than by superexchange.
