Recent developments in isocyanide based multicomponent reactions in applied chemistry
Article Abstract:
Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are generally defined as reactions where more than two staring materials react to form a product, incorporating essentially all of the atoms of the educts. There are different classification schemes of MCRs possible, according to the reaction mechanisms, the components involved, or their intrinsic variability and today most MCR chemistry performed with isocyanides relates to the classical reactions of Passerini and Ugi.

Oligomeric and polymeric systems with a cross-conjugated [pi]-framework
Article Abstract:
The synthesis and study of oligomeric and polymeric systems in which cross conjugation occurs by virtue of an exocyclic methylene, alkylidene, or vinylidene groups present within the structure is presented. The magnitude of electronic communication in cross-conjugated molecules could vary widely and is often highly dependent on the presence or absence of electron donor and/or acceptor functionality, conformation, and steric interactions.

Supramolecular nanotube architectures based on amphiphilic molecules
Article Abstract:
Several approaches to controlling the dimensions of lipids and polymer nanotubes are addressed, focusing on the outer and inner diameters, lengths, and membrane wall thickness. It was found that the outer and inner diameters and the membranes thickness of lipid nanotubes were controllable under optimized preparation conditions and by means of intense molecular designs based on experimental results of structure-morphology relationship.
