TL;DR: The synchronous selection and design of donor and acceptor materials reported here offer a feasible strategy for realizing highly efficient fullerene-free organic photovoltaics.

TL;DR: It is found that two molecular tubes with inwardly directed hydrogen-bond donors recognize highly hydrophilic solvent molecules in water with high selectivity.

TL;DR: Molecular recognition and chiroptical sensing of epoxides in water using endo-functionalized molecular tubes is reported and the method is simple, environmentally friendly, and amenable to high-throughput screening.

TL;DR: A thorough study on the binding behavior of these molecular tubes toward 44 hydrophilic molecules in water reveals that the binding strength is weakly correlated to the hydrophobicity, volume, surface area, and dipole moment of guests, and hydrogen bonding differentiates these molecules and is thus the key to achieve a high selectivity toward certain hydrophobic molecules over other molecules with a similar size and shape.

TL;DR: By investigating the partition coefficients of bovine serum albumin as a model protein, this magnetic hydrogel material was found to hold a potential application in magnetically assisted bioseparation.
