  • The icosahedron, as the polyhedron closest in symmetry to the sphere, is one of the most compelling Platonic solids for chemists to construct. Here, the authors assemble a supramolecular icosahedron from twelve pentatopic corannulene-based tectons, a strategy that was proposed over a decade ago but only now synthetically realized.

  • Single-molecule nanotubes assemble efficiently by linking two penta-aldehyde macrocycles and five phenylenediamine linkers though dynamic covalent imine bonds. These covalent organic pillars, with 2-nm-long and 4.7-Å-wide helical interior channels, show highly selective binding for linear n-alkyl guests with complementary lengths and electronic densities.

  • Vertical alignment of polymers on surfaces is challenging due to their flexibility and tendency to arrange on horizontal planes. Here, the authors report a design principle allowing polymers to be arranged into 2D homeotropic orientations by using long-range dipole-dipole interactions and hot-pressing on Teflon sheets.
