Overview

Review demonstrates molecular switch and sensor designs across chemical assemblies, highlighting pathways for rational nanoscale signal transduction.

Key Points

  • To review the fundamental principles and operational designs of molecular-scale sensors and switches constructed via supramolecular assemblies.
  • Literature review analyzing synthetic receptors integrated with optical and electrochemical signaling units.
  • Categorization of switching mechanisms governed by reversible non-covalent interactions and external stimuli.
  • Supramolecular architectures predictably transduce molecular recognition events into readable optical or electronic signals.
  • Coordination of guest species effectively modulates physical pathways such as photoinduced electron transfer and energy transfer to trigger distinct ON-OFF states.
