Development of small‐molecule‐based multi‐luminescent fluorophores utilizing simple synthetic methodologies, as well as easily available starting materials, has gained much attention in recent years. Herein, we disclose ...

A straightforward synthetic route toward indole-fused heteroacenes was developed. The strategy is composed of a one-pot process starting with a multicomponent reaction of cyclohexanone, primary amine and N-tosyl-3-nitroindole ...

Precise control of host–guest interaction as seen in biological processes is difficult to achieve with artificial systems. Herein we have exploited the thermodynamic benefits of a system in equilibrium to achieve controlled ...

Iridescent photonic materials have wide-ranging applications in security printing, and optical devices. While the commonly used photonic materials are based on polymers or inorganic colloidal particles, self-assembled small ...
