Development of a library of thiophene-based drug-like LEGO molecules: evaluation of their anion binding, transport properties and cytotoxicity
Published 2020-01-01The anion binding and transport properties of an extensive library of thiophene-based molecules are reported. Seventeen bis-urea positional isomers, with different binding conformations and lipophilicities, were synthetized ...Open AccessArticle -
Design of Chiral Supramolecular Polymers Exhibiting a Negative Nonlinear Response
Published 2019-01-01Many synthetic and supramolecular chiral polymeric systems are known to exhibit the “majority rules effect” (MRE), a positive nonlinear response in which a small enantiomeric excess (ee) of the chiral building blocks leads ...Open AccessArticle -
Advances in Anion Receptor Chemistry
Published 2020-01-01This review covers advances in anion complexation in the years 2017 and 2018. The review focuses on the applications of anion receptor chemistry, including sensing, self-assembly, extraction, transport, catalysis, and ...Open AccessArticle -
Selective anion transport mediated by strap-extended calixpyrroles
Published 2020-01-01Synthetic anion receptors that facilitate transmembrane chloride transport are of interest as potential therapeutic agents for cancer and cystic fibrosis. Transporters selective for chloride over protons are desired for ...Open AccessArticle -
Stimuli-responsive cycloaurated ‘OFF-ON’ switchable anion transporters
Published 2020-01-01Anion transporters have shown potential application as anti-cancer agents that function by disrupting homeostasis and triggering cell death. In this research article we report switchable anion transport by gold complexes ...Open AccessArticle
