Background Although many studies have suggested that biomass smoke is a risk factor for
COPD, the relationship between the two has not been firmly established. In particular, the …

Self-assembly has emerged as a powerful approach to generating complex supramolecular
architectures. Despite there being many crystalline frameworks reported in the solid state, …

The self-assembly of well-defined 2D supramolecular polymers in solution has been a
challenge in supramolecular chemistry. We have designed and synthesized a rigid stacking-…
