Inside Cover: Host-Guest Binding-Site-Tunable Self-Assembly of Stimuli-Responsive Supramolecular Polymers (Chem. Eur. J. 25/2016).

The β ‐ cyclodextrin/azobenzene host – guest binding site has a pronounced effect on the morphology, size, dynamic self ‐ assembly process, and controlled release function of two thermo ‐ and photoresponsive Y ‐ shaped supramolecular polymer self ‐ assemblies. The binding ‐ site ‐ tunable self ‐ assembly can be attributed to the positive cooperativity generated amongst adjacent binding sites on the surfaces of supramolecular polymer self ‐ assemblies. More information can be found in the Full Paper by W. Tian et al. on page 8508 ff. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
