Design and Synthesis of Nonequilibrium Systems (2015)
Journal Article
Cheng, C., McGonigal, P., Stoddart, J., & Astumian, R. (2015). Design and Synthesis of Nonequilibrium Systems. ACS Nano, 9(9), 8672-8688. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsnano.5b03809

The active transport of ions and molecules across cell membranes is essential to creating the concentration gradients that sustain life in all living organisms, be they bacteria, fungi, plants, animals or Homo sapiens. Nature uses active transport ev... Read More about Design and Synthesis of Nonequilibrium Systems.

Electrochemically addressable trisradical rotaxanes organized within a metal–organic framework (2015)
Journal Article
McGonigal, P., Deria, P., Hod, I., Moghadam, P., Avestro, A., Horwitz, N., …Stoddart, J. (2015). Electrochemically addressable trisradical rotaxanes organized within a metal–organic framework. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 112(36), 11161-11168. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1514485112

The organization of trisradical rotaxanes within the channels of a Zr6-based metal–organic framework (NU-1000) has been achieved postsynthetically by solvent-assisted ligand incorporation. Robust ZrIV–carboxylate bonds are forged between the Zr clust... Read More about Electrochemically addressable trisradical rotaxanes organized within a metal–organic framework.

An artificial molecular pump (2015)
Journal Article
Cheng, C., McGonigal, P. R., Schneebeli, S. T., Li, H., Vermeulen, N. A., Ke, C., & Stoddart, J. F. (2015). An artificial molecular pump. Nature Nanotechnology, 10(6), 547-553. https://doi.org/10.1038/nnano.2015.96

Carrier proteins consume fuel in order to pump ions or molecules across cell membranes, creating concentration gradients. Their control over diffusion pathways, effected entirely through noncovalent bonding interactions, has inspired chemists to devi... Read More about An artificial molecular pump.

Tunable solid-state fluorescent materials for supramolecular encryption (2015)
Journal Article
Hou, X., Ke, C., Bruns, C. J., McGonigal, P. R., Pettman, R. B., & Stoddart, J. F. (2015). Tunable solid-state fluorescent materials for supramolecular encryption. Nature Communications, 6, Article 6884. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms7884

Tunable solid-state fluorescent materials are ideal for applications in security printing technologies. A document possesses a high level of security if its encrypted information can be authenticated without being decoded, while also being resistant...
