Heteroaromatic Modules for Self-Assembly Using Multiple Hydrogen Bonds
TLDR
A review of several classes of organic compounds capable of multiple hydrogen-bond recognition is presented in this paper with a focus on the factors that contribute to complex stability, including the properties of the donor and acceptor groups.Abstract:
Hydrogen bonding is a directional and moderately strong intermolecular force. Compounds that present multiple hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor groups have proven to be extremely important in creating new self-assembled structures. A review of several classes of organic compounds capable of multiple hydrogen-bond recognition is presented with a focus on the factors that contribute to complex stability.read more

Functional liquid-crystalline assemblies: self-organized soft materials.
TL;DR: New approaches to the functionalization of liquid crystals are described and it is shown how the design ofliquid crystals formed by supramolecular assembly and nano-segregation leads to the formation of a variety of new self-organized functional materials.

Binding Mechanisms in Supramolecular Complexes
TL;DR: The aim of this Review is to describe the crucial interaction mechanisms in context, and thus classify the entire subject of supramolecular chemistry.

Programmable molecular recognition based on the geometry of DNA nanostructures.
TL;DR: It is shown that DNA can be used to create diverse bonds using an entirely different principle: the geometric arrangement of blunt-end stacking interactions, which may guide strategies for molecular recognition in systems beyond DNA nanostructures.

Molecular tweezers and clips as synthetic receptors. Molecular recognition and dynamics in receptor-substrate complexes.
TL;DR: The electrostatic potential surface of 1-7 is calculated to be surprisingly negative on the concave side of each molecule and, hence, complementary to the EPS of the electron-deficient substrates, suggesting that the attractive receptor-substrate interaction is here of predominantly electrostatic nature.

TL;DR: 2-ureido-4-pyrimidone that dimerize strongly in a self-complementary array of four cooperative hydrogen bonds were used as the associating end group in reversible self-assembling polymer systems.

Entropic contributions to rate accelerations in enzymic and intramolecular reactions and the chelate effect.
TL;DR: It is pointed out that translational and (overall) rotational motions provide the important entropic driving force for enzymic and intramolecular rate accelerations and the chelate effect; internal rotations and unusually severe orientational requirements are generally of secondary importance.

Strong dimerization of ureidopyrimidones via quadruple hydrogen bonding
TL;DR: In this paper, a donor-donor-acceptor−acceptor −acceptor (DDAA) array of hydrogen bonding sites in the 4[1H]-pyrimidinone tautomer was used to preorganize the molecules for dimerization.
