TL;DR: In this article, the first demonstration of cyclic voltammetric responses of a metallomesogen in the columnar liquid crystalline phase is presented, which appears particularly well suited for the design of redox-active liquid crystals.

TL;DR: The dynamic coil-like behavior of 1 can be controlled through the change of the hydrogen-bonding interactions caused by the reversible and selective incorporation of guest molecules.

TL;DR: Analysis of X-ray crystal structures of apo-Fr and its Cys- and His-deletion mutants containing Pd(allyl) complexes indicate that Cys126 accelerates the incorporation of Pd-allyl complexes into the cage, and Cys48 andCys126 are essential for accumulation and stabilizing the square planar coordination structure.

TL;DR: This work has shown that the β -helical protein motif, which occurs predominantly in native tubular structural proteins such as antifreeze proteins, prions, and viruses, holds promise as a candidate to overcome tube structures with high sta-bility and well-designed nanoscale lengths for properly aligning synthetic molecules on the surfaces of the nanotubes.

TL;DR: This is the first porous framework synthesized with barium using carboxylate ligands and has robust microporous character and possesses unsaturated metal sites when fully desolvated.
