A team from the Johnson and Kulik labs introduce the concept of leveraging “nested” supramolecular crosslinks to control bulk material functions. In these nested crosslinks two distinct supramolecular interactions exist in parallel and influence each other. In the future, this may leverage the vast existing body of known MOC host-guest binding properties to accelerate the creation of soft materials with exquisitely selective small-molecule-driven property changes for applications ranging from sensing to biomaterials.
