Interfacing porphyrins and carbon nanotubes through mechanical links
DOI: 10.1039/C8SC02492H, Edge Article
U-shaped bisporphyrin molecules are clipped around SWCNTs using ring-closing metathesis yielding rotaxane-type derivatives, in which porphyrins and SWCNTs are connected through mechanical links.

Practical water production from desert air
Energy-efficient production of water from desert air has not been developed. A proof-of-concept device for harvesting water at low relative humidity was reported; however, it used external cooling and was not desert-tested. We report a laboratory-to-desert experiment where a prototype using up to 1.2 kg of metal-organic framework (MOF)–801 was tested in the laboratory and later in the desert of Arizona, USA. It produced 100 g of water per kilogram of MOF-801 per day-and-night cycle, using only natural cooling and ambient sunlight as a source of energy. We also report an aluminum-based MOF-303, which delivers more than twice the amount of water. The desert experiment uncovered key parameters pertaining to the energy, material, and air requirements for efficient production of water from desert air, even at a subzero dew point.

Supramolecular Kandinsky circles with high antibacterial activity, Published online: 08 May 2018; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-04247-z
Nested structures are common throughout nature and art, yet remain challenging synthetic targets in supramolecular chemistry. Here, the authors design multitopic terpyridine ligands that coordinate into nested concentric hexagons, and show that these discrete supramolecules display potent antimicrobial activity.Materials challenges for the Starshot lightsail

Reversible disassembly of metallasupramolecular structures mediated by a metastable-state photoacid
DOI: 10.1039/C8SC01108G, Edge Article
Only stable in the dark: when mixed with a metastable-state photoacid, metallasupramolecular structures become light sensitive. The photo-induced disassembly of the structures is reversed when the light is switched off.

Spatially controlled clustering of nucleotide-stabilized vesicles
DOI: 10.1039/C8CC02318B, Communication
A two-step hierarchical self-assembly process is presented relying on the GMP-induced formation of vesicles, which then cluster into large aggregates upon the addition of Ag+-ions.
