Superfan compounds are a novel class of molecular cages with unique structural features. Composed of two parallel benzene rings connected by six side chains, these compounds form a lantern-like structure with a (quasi-) closed internal cavity and numerous recognition sites distributed around the cavity.
Compared to traditional supramolecular host compounds, superfans exhibit remarkable versatility:
- Advanced Functional Materials: Applications include gas separation, CO₂ capture, and targeted drug delivery.
- Supramolecular Subjects: Act as molecular or ion cages for encapsulating neutral molecules (e.g., xenon, methane), cations, or anions, facilitating their protection, storage, and transportation.
- Molecular Containers: Provide exceptional utility in studying water clusters, solvent clusters, ion clusters, and ionic solvent clusters.
- Optical Properties: Superfan compounds display unique liquid and solid fluorescence, making them promising for applications in bioimaging, integrated diagnosis and treatment, nonlinear optical materials, and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials.
J&K Scientific is the exclusive supplier of superfan compounds, developed from the groundbreaking research of Professor He Qing of Hunan University. These advanced materials offer the following advantages:
Unique Properties:
- (Quasi-) closed molecular structures with multiple recognition sites and binding capabilities.
- Enable the development of functional molecular systems with exceptional binding strength and ultra-high selectivity.
Wide Range of Applications:
- Molecular recognition and advanced separation technology.
- Bioimaging and medical diagnostics.
- Targeted drug delivery.
- Gas separation and storage.
These compounds hold significant potential for scientific research and practical applications in supramolecular chemistry, materials science, and beyond.
