Polymorphism, a phenomenon whereby disparate self-assembled products can be formed from identical molecules, has incited interest in the field of supramolecular polymers. Conventionally, monomers that constitute polymers are engineered to facilitate one-dimensional aggregation and, consequently, their polymorphism surfaces primarily when states assembly differ significantly. This engenders polymorphs divergent dimensionalities such as one- and two-dimensional aggregates. Notwithstanding,...
Na4Fe3-xMnx(PO4)2(P2O7) is considered a promising candidate for commercial-scale applications due to its significantly improved energy density compared Na4Fe3(PO4)2(P2O7). However, challenges such as intractable impurities, voltage hysteresis/decay, and sluggish Na+ kinetics hinder their practical application. In this study, failure mechanisms of Na4Fe1.5Mn1.5(PO4)2(P2O7) are intensively investigated demystified. It found that the issues material mainly caused by surface element segregation,...

Creating molecular‐level host‐guest complexes with properties responsive to endogenous substance stimuli‐responsive as drug delivery systems, is critical for improving stability, reducing side effects, and amplifying therapeutic efficacy. Herein, a system the chemotherapeutic chlorambucil (CLB) was developed using interaction amino‐pillar[6]arene (NP6). NP6 exhibits high affinity CLB (Ka = 3.5 × 103 M‐1), resulting in 1:1 complex NP6@CLB. This not only effectively prevents premature leakage...

These systems exhibit chiroptical stability enable remarkable chirality...
Nanodrug delivery is a critical approach in cancer therapy; however, the deposition of excipients often exacerbates toxic burden drugs. Herein, pillar[5]arene‐based supramolecular nanodrug system (WP5⊃C6Py@DOX) has been developed to enhance therapy efficacy while minimizing side effects. This system, constructed through host‐guest interactions between thioether‐modified pillar[5]arene derivative (WP5) and pyridinium salt (C6Py), exhibited remarkable 97% drug loading capacity for doxorubicin...
